Even in Windows XP, it's a little confusing because Direct CD comes up and
asks if you want a CD that you can read and write to (copy files), or if you
want a CD that plays in a CD-ROM drive.  That threw me when I was first
starting to learn to copy files to a CD.  I still prefer the simplicity of
copying to floppy disks, but files tend to be too large now to do that.

P.s.  I'm new to this list.
