Terry I find Roxio far more accomodating than Nero, even though some say
Nero is the best. Nero have recently sent me a copy of their Nero 7 premium
software and i was disppointed to find that their InCD software (similar to
Roxio drag and drop) is not installed by default but has to be installed
seperately. And after all that trouble of installing it the damn thing
doesn't work!
