What you do, Buck, is fine. It's what I normally get from the
web. Why would I/should I expect more?
Upgrading to 7.2 also, gave me the ability to launch nzb's and
God knows I love that! I generally don't use the preview feature
because it tiles too small. I know that's because of my window
set-up. I prefer just hitting Enter(not "L"aunch) to preview.
Disc burners? I bought Asus burners for both of my pc's and
they're bullet-proof! What I've learned is that when you're burning,
that's all you need to be doing - nothing else. I'll even stop WMP
till the drive is finished burning. Let it do it's thing and all will
be well.
I've already spoken of taking the dead end road. :-/ If I
was a fireman, I'd probably walk into fires too. It's easy for a
person to "talk" about being brave, but I'm talking about being
pig-headed. It's a good thing I'm not in charge of air transportation
or you'd all be flying in zeppelins. :-|
