I installed a PC for my wife's friend last week - they only have dialup so it pissed on me d/l a prog from Zonelabs - reckoned it was gonna take 2.5 hours !!!
I came back to ours, grabbed it via Broadband, burnt it to a CD-RW and went back to theirs, installed it and got it set up in 30 mins !!!
Can I ask how much you pay for them Shamus ?
I see from my usual supplier that I can now spindles of 10 or 25 Verb DL's and they are also available in printable.....
I really hope this another information release that turns out to be hype....
As for the FW update via the discs - this is what Sony do now with the PSP and its games - they try to force you to update the FW to play the latest games...... So maybe there is some truth here too.....
I remember seeing on our news that more people voted in the final of American Idol (talent show on tv) than voted for your president - thats gotta show that are priorities are fucked up !
I might be wrong but it sounds to me like FARMER is trying to select a file to burn with ImgBurn.....
If so, it needs to be a file format recognised by ImgBurn, if its not it won't see it in the folder your looking in. If you change the "supported files" to "all files" does it show up then ? If so you need to create a file type like .iso etc for ImgBurn to be able to burn it for you.
Shrink can do this as can <spits> Nero..... (I think - never used the POS)
Well I ordered the ones above from the wonderful www.svp.co.uk - unfortunately I chose a cheaper postage option and they are taking a couple of days extra to get to me
Ah - here is the list of discs I ordered.......
2x Verbatim DVD-RW (6x)
2x Verbatim DVD+RW (4x)
2x Verbatim DVD+RW (6x)
2x Ricoh DVD+RW (4x)
2x Ricoh DVD+RW (8x)
Looks like the speeds are picking up a bit now.....
