be modified and the app looks at the free space available and responds
accordingly--if necessary the writing stops and starts without ruining
the CD-R if the burner has buffer underrun protection. I don't recommend
running with a full disc, but some do...

I forgot about the solid state USB device. They cost $25-50 now . USB
hard drives are now $80-$150 so at a desirable price point. Most

is without excess load on the computer]. And no complications from the
UDF CD-RW burning format.
