That works fine in a little tiny organization with only a few people burning and then walking to the burner, taking out the CD, putting in a fresh blank... in other words it simply doesn't scale. What does is a server with several burners, a a spool where you leave the image, your mailing address, and an image of the label to attach. Then a clerk takes the burned CD, attaches the label, and mails it (usually internal mail) or leaves it in the pickup area. If you add the need for a few copies, but not enought to be worth mass producing, then it gets even worse. An automated system to write and verify the CD, print the label, and keep one set of supplies is far better when just having each person add a writer to their system isn't the right solution. Remote SCSI is a great technical solution, but for many people using a resource it gets bogged down in details, and winds up with an expensive engineer or software developer playing clerk. -- -bill davidsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
