There were rumors that Apple would lock up a hacked machine the next time it tried to run an automatic software update, but they seem to have been debunked. The semi-official word, as far as I know, is "Do what you want, but don't come crying to us when it breaks and you've voided the warranty."
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Awesome. If they can get networking working, I might buy one (although they are $400 here in the UK, mumble grumble).

Bit Pim Rocks. I have successfully created and downloaded edits of songs by Brian Eno, The Buggles, the Wizard's Baker medley from Home Movies and (what the heck) the Lothars onto my cell phone as potential ringtones. Take that, Virgin!

I seek help from the uber-geeks. I copied a bunch of .wmv files to a CD-R in a DVD-RW drive. However, those files are unable to be read on a regular DVD drive or on a regular CD or CD-R drive. Whyfor not? They're just regular data files, aren't they?

All is well that ends in pizza.
For one, what format did you save it as? if it was UDF, that would be a factor.
For two, did you "finalize" the CD? Some formats don't do well if the CD is not closed.
If it was done as a multi-session burn, it might not be seen on another computer.

How big is each wmv file? If they're small, it's possible they are just pointers to data that's still out on the Internet.

Yes, to UDF. How can I not save them that way? I don't know if I finalized the CD or not. The file sizes are 11 meg-ish

You should be able to select "Data disk" or "ISO" or "ISO-XA" in Nero. What version do you have, and is it the Nero Express or another sort?

My iMac arrived! I went home and played with it at lunch - it's so shiny!
Yes, I am a big kid.

Yes, Firefox installed, Azureus installed, options fiddled, all is going well.
Except I keep trying to press the right mouse button. It's driving me insane.
