...while Rome burns...

Hah. Worked. I now have a DVD which will play on all the machines in my house, and the X-BOX. Rob's recipe for DVD success is PIONEER 106 DVD burner, ULEAD DVD Movie Factory and Bulkpaq DVD-R disks. There may be better solutions, but this lot seems to work OK.

Not necessarily true dept: "Concern is growing about the state of the links in some of the pages on the internet world wide web. Some of these links have been in constant use for over ten years and are beginning to show signs of wear and tear causing browsers to spin off onto random sites. The BBC is having to replace frequently used links on its web pages and there is increasing concern amongst government scientists that a terrorist attack which "wears out" a link by repeated visits to it could cause the internet to come to a crashing halt, leaving millions cut off from civilisation and having to resort to conversation and meeting real people".

Colour me stupid. I've only just figured out why Nero is a good name for a CD burner program. I think it should make this clearer by playing violin music as it runs....
