One should basically not use a CD-R/CD-RW as a general CD reader, since it usually has way lower MTBF than a normal CD/DVD reader, and is more expensive. Ie. it breaks a lot earlier if you use it a lot, and it's more expensive to replace :-) /* Steinar */ - already destroyed two of them, with not very much usage ;-) -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
