trying to figure out how to finally get my new cd burner to work through all the error messages just to get one measly data cd burned is making me feel like pulling my hair out... it was so much easier when i was at uc davis: bring a usb drive and blank cd to school, and in about 15 minutes(maybe even i daresay, 10 minutes; those cpus were fast) on a lab computer i would be done with it. this better not be God's sadistic way of telling me i would've been better off buying an external hard drive with memory in the 200+ gb range.
