Merry Christmas Dian and all,

I wasn't jumping on him, note my LOLs, he wants to prevent CD duping!  note,
he mention the current state of CD Writers...We all know about BMG and other
companies trying to prevent CDs from being copied, everyone on the list
responding has been addressing protecting a PowerPoint doc...NOT preventing
a CD Writer from making a dup of a CD!   And yes I get offended when someone
labels computer users, he  mentioned 'ordinary user'  If an 'ordinary user'
has a CD Writer on their system, than they should know how to do a 'bit to
bit' copy of a CD!  What do you call all the kids ripping music?
extra-ordinary?  You edited out the part where I said ' I know you didn't
mean it'

I also mention to him to use Google - first line. I feel if I was jumping on
him,  I would have said that Duping CDs is not an Office Problem. If he was
to post question  to a hardware newsgroup they will laugh at him.

I was trying to help while being funny, I have total respect for your skills
Dian, sorry you didn't catch the humor in my answer! Merry Christmas! ;-)
I'm having another
slice of Rum cake!  wish you could join me! ;-)
