My dad was just writing a CD of Queen songs he downloaded, on our new CD writer on our brand new computer, and to say it's fast is a damn understatement. In 7 minutes, and 10 seconds, it wrote 80 minutes of music - and the CD was filled to the brim! If that ain't fast, I don't know what is! On another note, it was running at 12X (800KB/sec). PCWorld rule!

Their staff recruitment thingy is best:

"No knowledge of computers is required, all training will be given"

Ever tried asking a remotly technical question in PC World? Its really quiet funny..

Good god, that must take only about 4 minutes to write an 80 minute CD!

"But PC World never has or will "rule"."

What's wrong with PC World? If this is about Gary Glitter, then please excuse me. I found their customer service to be terrible, constantly delaying the PC (it arrived earlier than expected in the end!), but the computer itself is brilliant, so I'm happy :)

Yup, bought a new one the other day...I always resisted making them before, old External HP one - 4x write and no burn proofing..that was painful. OCuk deal of the week thing, £77 for a 24x writer - it's excellent, even if I only run at 16x, only got about 3 cds left which will work at 24x..

Thinking about this, my dad bought an external writer on Tuesday, and has one in his PC...I'm sure we don't need 4, heh. Time to experiment with some CDrw modding then..
