Heck, we (well, mostly Terminus) wrote most of it and we don't understand it.

If Gem actually reaches a point of understanding this thread, can he explain it to the rest of us?

And Robert, didn't your CD burner come with software to do this? My PC has one DVD ROM/CD-RW and one DVD-RW drive and came with Roxio CD & DVD burning software.

Burning isn't the problem - ripping is. i am trying to archive several hundred CDs - many of them lectures (educational-type stuff). i want to reduce these to a manageable size. Ten to 1 reduction (or so) seems like a good trade (i.e. going to MP3 format), and i'd be able to (a) find the stuff i want when i want it (almost impossible now, even with the drastic methods i have implemented), and (b) reduce the blivet* in my office since i moved into about 1/4 of the space i had before.

(blivet = 10 pounds of sh!t in a 3 pound sack...)

Calm before the storm...?

Anyway, the reason that women are the stronger of the sexes:

The other day, I was talking to the Polish girl in my business school class. It was the day after Easter break had ended, and since she's Catholic, she'd been home in Poland to spend the holiday with her family. 16 hour trip by car each way.

Now, because of said 16 hour car trip, she's having trouble sitting still on her chair in the class room, and because it's a warm day, she's wearing a tank top. A low-cut tank top.

The equation:

Attractive Polish girl + warm day + low-cut tank top = her breasts jiggling up and down = me staring at her chest instead of her face while she's talking to me.

Mind you, it's not like I'm ashamed of it, any more than a shark would be ashamed of eating a surfer. It can't help itself, and neither could I or any other man.

The thing is, though, that I could actually hear my synaptic processes grinding to a halt, and afterwards I couldn't remember two words of her story about the trip.

Robin Williams said it in one of his shows:

"God gave you a penis and a brain, and only enough blood to run one at a time".

Now, if God had only given us a toggle switch, so we could actually decide which one to run at a time, but He didn't. Oh, He made the switch, but He gave it to the women instead.

And that's why women are the stronger sex. They hold the toggle switch.

***True story***

For 15 years, I ran a Biology teaching lab at a major university that shall remain nameless, but it's colors are scarlett and gray and it's in Ohio. Anyway, summers there were wonderful. I was walking through a the parking lot outside my lab one glorious sunny day and this really pretty young coed walked up to me with a really nervous look on her face. I never saw her before (and never again either). She said to me that she thought there was a bee stuck in her bra and asked if I could pull it out. Now at this point I looked around to see who had set up this practical joke. No one was in sight. Hmm. So I glanced down into this really nice cleavage and there it was, the a$$ end of a bee sticking out of her cleavage. So, I did was any chivalrous knight would do. I fished down in there and rescued that poor bee from the maiden.

Made my day.

Hey, it's a good Monday morning for me. My Monday morning 3 hour meeting lasted only 1 hour today. My boss had another meeting.

Edit: I get to come in 2 hours early for this.

Perhaps you could have this with Sea Urchin Roe Caviar... i know someone who is (or was) selling this... of course, he is a bit indisposed right now but might be willing to sell it for cheap to raise some money for lawyers... (see Capt. Mandrake's AAR)
