Yes there are in if you subscribe to this list in a weeks time (just reading
the posts) you'll know more about burning than you wanted to <g>

A lot of them are packaged by somebody else but the manufacturer is another.
This is something you want to take into consideration. I know Mitsumi makes
them (I got one and they're great an inexpensive, Mark' got one too) and Hi-Val
is one of the packers for it. Yamaha does the same I believe.

David G gave you the scoop on that and you really need a reader in order to do

Yes, Mitsumi packs theirs with Adaptec Easy CD Creator. It's the best SW out
there unless you want to get into high fidelity music CD making.

Your quite welcome. If you need any help setting it up let me know so you won't
have to go through what I went through <g>
