Nice to see you post Rich how have you been doing?

Nero, is a software program that will help. Most CD burners come with Nero. I think there is a free version of Nero. Rich is right about closing the session. I have found out I have to start with a new CD when I have left a session open.

Thank you Pete. Ny health has been very questionable lately, but is improving. I have gotten PRP injections in my left foot, which have helped tremendously. I get orthovisc injections in my knees and radio frequency for both legs. My altzheimers is doing good with the aricept. The diabetes is stable, and my b/p is stable too. Breathing is labored, but the oxygen helps. I am glad that I can still get out and drive on my own, Judy has been in the hospital 11 times in the past 9 months, mostly with pneunomia, copd, chf & a lot of severe water retention (so much so that her shins were weeping). The lasix damages her kidneys everytime they have to give it to her IV. Her diabetes is way out of control with an 11 A1c. Her eyes have bursted blood vessels and she can barely see. She is bed bound from the failed neck fusion (spinal stenosis). Her cancers aren't really a problem, because she has an internal diludid pain pump that gives her 10 mg daily. Her home physical therapist wants to get her into our pool, but she hasn't been able to get in yet this year. I keep the pool at 90 degrees just in case.

Rich:

You and Judy are in my prayers. I always think of the music that you and Judy made available to Members of Hadit and also your common sense posts.

Stretch,

I find that almost ALL of the 'personal use' stuff is touted to be the easiest and most user friendly.

Hype is just hype.

I'm looking for stuff that is aimed at the 'older' 'new' users of computers.

This involves a different way of looking at who software is created for.

I'm of the old school.

I need diagrams and tree-like explanations of what is downstream from what.

What can be accessed by what.

At the moment all I want to do is write a few personally compiled music CD's that will play in my 2002 Blazer.

After I 'burn' a cd it will play-back in my computer cd drive but, not in my car.

To me, this does not conform to the rules and regulations of COMMON SENSE.

I don't mix 'the meaning of life' with firefighting or ice cream.

I don't know how to morph anything and I would hire somebody else to do that.

In my world, there is such a thing as TOO COMPLICATED to be of any practical use.

Check this out,

What do you want to do?

Record music.

Where will the music come from?

Other CD's.

Where will you play these music recordings?

My car.

Insert all of the music that will be used into the cd drive.

These files will be compiled together under today's date.

Display the music files by name and composer.

Select the music.

Burn the selected music onto the cd in drive D.

Repeat the recording 10 times.

Common sense tells me to use a blank cd.

Common sense tells me that my recordings will play in my car.

Common sense tells me that I don't have to worry about volume control.

Or labeling the disc with a lazer,

or starting over from square one each time I repeat my work,

or some butt-head's idea of advertising on my screen.

I'm not above paying a buck or two for software that is sledge friendly.

Free is better but not really expected.

Geeks like complicated because they want to show off to the jocks, or their just wired wrong.

I don't want to impress anybody with my computer skills or hide from society while I write programs that will screw-up other computers, just because I can.

I use those Ten-Most-Used-Passwords because a password is required, not because I'm trying to keep the FBI out of my life.

I believe that if you use the internet, the government will know everything that's in your computer.

You can't hide it or encript it in such a way that only you can view it.

Trying to is an exercise in stupid.

Copying cassetts cost me 30 bucks for the machine that would do it.

My 91 Ford has a cassette player.

A machine to copy or erase a disc should be less costly, common sense.

I don't need, or want to, doctor-up the music or play with a video camera.

I don't sell any recordings but I bought the music.

Somebody is smart enough to have invented exactly what I'm looking for.

Software or dedicated machine, I don't really care.

When my requirements are less than one percent of the machine's capabilities, I don't need or want it.

Common Sense.

OK, I'm done now.
