thanks for your input Rose. Interestingly enough when I got there this morning to hook the machine up for them I found that the CD Burner came bundled with Nero and so the computer tech's that installed the OS and other software the came with it .... obviously installed that as well. I think it will be a while in any case, before they're feeling brave enough to consider burning CD's -- right now they're still working on the hand-eye coordination that us oldbies take for granted in getting the mouse to click where we think it should be at!! (its kinda funny to watch actually!) Oh, and I think it's very rude of Roxio not to phone you and inform you of their plans!! Not very considerate are they?!! ~Lacey~ ----- Original Message ----- From: <TechRose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2003 3:06 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: The first of many WinXP Questions > The cd burning that comes with XP is done by Roxio.
