[muglo] CD Burning Sessions

Just so you know, Ilbert, if you buy Toast and register with them, 
you have access, with a password, to their discussion boards.  I 
believe this is free of charge for Toast 5 and 6 users--4 is no 
longer supported.  My experience is that Roxio puts out lots of 
explanation for their software.  If you go into your support section, 
you should fact sheets (e.g. on burning hybrid CD's), many of which 
are quite helpful.  At least, there were fact sheets there a couple 
of years ago when I looked.  I know the discussion boards are still 
there, as I accessed them just last week.

I'm not overly impressed with Toast 5.21 and went back to 5.02.

Many software companies have these discussion forums for users, which 
provide peer to peer support, and I have often found them very 
useful.  They are usually free.
