which_chickIt's at times like these that I consider illiterate monks in the dark ages, copying manuscripts by hand in flickering organic light, their errors a record of manuscript provenance through the ages. The amount of information one person could hold, copy, spindle, fold, and mutilate was pretty damn minimal back then... but these days we're living in the future. I can hold, copy, spindle, fold, mutilate, distribute, and otherwise fondle vast quantities of information. Not only that, I can do it cheaply, easily, and quickly in a sodomy-free environment if that's my desire. Hair shirts and flagellation are definitely optional these days.
As you've probably guessed by now, the DVD burner is installed and it works. That went flawlessly, as long as I am willing to overlook the horrible new skin on PowerDVD -- it is probably supposed to look postmodern and sleek and shit. They got the shit part right, anyway. *sigh*
I've burnt a data disk thing and it works in my CD-RW/DVD-R drive, so I'm a happy camper indeed. DVD authoring will have to wait until later -- that's not high on my list. Besides, Roy knows how to do that and I can always just shove data in his general direction and make puppy dog eyes at him until he gives in.
