[KLUG Members] Sharing a DVD Burner

[Andy Eidson]

Thanks for the input.. my main purpose was I have over
500MB of AAC files for ITUNES that I would like to
burn and was trying to find a way of doing it without
moving the burner between machines or installing
Windoze on my main machine. Oh well.. until Apple
makes an Itunes client I guess I may have to just sit
on the music for awhile longer.
