 Well, how do, Charles?

...No, I'm trying to burn a backup from another machine.

In a nut, vas is das, 'Torrent?' I heard a bit about the conversations, but
it wasn't making the most impact on my thick skull. The best I got, is it
will 'finger' out to another I-net connection like those music sharing
communities.

I'm not sure how old the burner is, but how could one tell if it is *too*
old? PS: I just checked my image, and it is 683M. Maybe I just found out my
drive is too old?

I was forced to reboot last night, (W'98 don't you know!) and the CD is
blank. It obviously didn't close the CD, *nor* the session. Shoot, I'd like
to swear. 

I suppose the only thing left, is for me to create another image smaller in
size? I went to contribute more to the CD, where Adaptec offered to close
the burn, but that seemed to do nothing.

... Thanks, Charles!       James
