Next message: Welch, John C.: "Re: [WinMac] CD burners?"
No, I'm *not* crying "I told you so" about IEEE-1394 (Firewire) CD-R decks:
Many people have fallen for the marketing hype. [It's not your fault - It's
the marketing suits...]
Maybe in a year or so when the sharp "bleeding edge" has been dulled will I
change my opinion; but just as it took the original Astarte Toast Pro a
while to rev up to v2.0.6 to become robust it will take a while - Including,
as Leonard correctly points out - for driver "updates" to be rolled out and
regression tested, will the "the wave of the future for storage devices!"
become a reality.
In the meantime, "save the trees!" :)
Cheers!
Dan
