subject: Re: my first experience with XP

From: Ellen K. 

The same young tech who showed me that also rescued me from a
non-functioning CD burning suite on my work desktop... he has a USB flash
memory attached to his keychain, just stuck it in my machine, copied what I
was trying to burn, stuck it in the XP machine and made the CD.  (Actually
it took two trips, but who's counting.)   I'm
definitely getting one or two of those and the heck with ever again burning
CDs for the purpose of transferring large files between work and home!

So, I'm curious:   Since XP has this functionality, why would you
install a separate CD/DVD burning suite on an XP box?
