(...) Hmm.. was it formatted with a program of some kind? (Like it was written for writing CD-R's?) If it is an audio CD, it sometimes does not put that track marker on it to signifyh the end of the CD. I have had that problem before. I know the HP (...)

(...) Yes, the original offending CD-R was unsuccessfully written with Adaptec CD-Direct. That has to be the worst CD-writing software ever. Anyway, the offending CD-R doesn't bother me too much. What bothers me more is the fact that when I boot up (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Adaptec Direct CD doesn't burn audio cds - it's a packet-writing package that allows you to dump data a little at a time on a cd till you're done with it. And its garbage, for the most part. You're thinking of Adaptec Easy CD Creator, mostly (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yeah, that's the part I disliked about it. I had to burn a lot of files at work, and with Adaptec Direct CD this took ages, since each file was done separately. I actually used three hours to burn a single CD. On a 2x drive! And it failed to (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Depends on the hardware you're running it on, but yeah, I'd say NT is more functional network-wise than 9x. The tcp/ip printing alone makes it more valuable in my opinion, not to mention the increased stability. Not to say NT doesn't crash or (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
