Stupid ***: So, I mostly play games on my PC, so when I
purchased Amiga Forever 2008 (to play old Amiga games) it
downloaded a .iso file to be burned. My gaming PC obviously
has a CD/DVD burner, but whatever software may have come
with the hardware when I bought it is in some pile of disks
somewhere in the house, and I have no intention to dig
around for it just to maybe find out that the "light"
version or trial version doesn't support iso burning anyway.
And since Windows doesn't support it natively, I moved the
iso file over to my Mac, burned it in about five minutes
using Disk Utility that comes with the Mac and ran it in my
PC. It's a little like the Macbook Air - only buy a PC if
you have a real computer as well to do the heavy lifting. :P

Ed:
for the future (if you have a regular need for burning iso's),
try http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm it's a
shell extension, so you can just right click on an iso and
burn to cd or dvd, or right click on a cd and create an iso.
very simple and works well.

Lurky:
It looks like Sandman's efforts to talk you into a Mac
backfired.

Stupid ***:
Huh? Ed already has a Mac, Einstein.

Lurky:
What in his reply indicated that, SA?

Stupid ***:
The existence of Eds Mac is not connected to any indication of such in
any of his replies.

Then how did you expect me to know he has a Mac, SA?
