Hi Craig,
Sorry, we seem to have cross purposes here. By burner, I meant the hardware
and I'm sensing you meant software. You have to buy the burner (hardware) to
use any software whether it be free or payware. I usually reply to your
posts as you are one of the VERY few who don't see the freeware issue as
black and white, you recognise the grey areas and respond in a logical
rather than blinkered manner. But surely here, if software comes free with a
burner, commercial or not, then it's still free? It will be scaled down and
have some features missing, but it was free. Strangely, I find myself being
a bit black and white here today (not completely :o)). I'm not bothered by
the issue of is it free or not as I feel we need the comparisons in the
first place, and use an inferior program for the sake of 20 twenty quid!
