The CD Burner returns! Back by request of some email asking I test DVD
software problems with some burning software installed. The Rage Fury hangs
on another week! What will come next? Help me decide! SEND MONEY!
(That's a joke people!) :)
I clean-installed 98SE for this review. It's good for troubleshooting
on any system. A good tool is a 2nd copy of your OS on the HD. It allows
you the ability to test things, and see what might cause conflicts or
problems, without you having to sacrifice your system setup or reinstall
everything over and over. (If your system is like mine, you have enough
junk loaded it would take DAYS!) When I want my main version,
I just switch over!
