In case the obvious went by you, she is here and is known here.

True "Alfredo" consists of butter, parmesan, and pasta (IIRC), so
it's already cheesy. I think you would describe this as an "Alfredo"
style sauce with cream and thickener...

Yeah, but here's not *there*. But I won't explain the obvious. ;-)

Carol, depending what software came with your burner, it may be just
as simple as bunging in a virgin CDR or CDRW and it will pop up a menu
of sorts asking what you want to do. Even my old Easy CD Creator 4
does that. If you then select the "use like a floppy" or similar
option (i.e. so you can drag and drop, COPY, or XCOPY files to it) it
will go ahead and format the thing for you and Bob's yer uncle. (Which
Bob?

A CDR will format within a minute or two, the CDRWs can take around 20
minutes or more, depending on your system.

Having done that, you could simply run a small batch file based on
XCOPY (which comes with your system, if it's DOS/Windows) to copy to
it each day. Of course, there are much more sophisticated things
available too, but so far I've been happy with the KISS approach.

Let me know if you want to see a sample of the sort of batch file I'm
talking about.

Cheers, Phred.

You didn't mention if a reward was being offered for their safe return.

I don't have the software. This is a CD/burner that Crash passed on to me
when he upgraded (he's the Tim Allen of computers). I'm gonna have to get
it from him. I'm keeping your post, and will try to use your suggestions.
And I may just follow up on your offer of more info!!

I use nero to burn CDR, CDRW, DVDR, and DVDRW. So Carol, if he gives you
nero and you have a problem talk to me... The most common mistake made is
not finalizing the disks. This makes them readable in different drives.
Very important if you get upgraded again or want to use the disks in a
different puter.

If you decide to, just give me a bell. My e-mail address works
given obvious editing. I miss a lot of stuff in newsgroups.

Cheers, Phred.

Christine,

I am coming into this late after pruning the huge volume of posts in rfc
down. If you are still looking for some of mine, they are gradually
getting over to my food blog as I make them.

<http://loveandcooking.blogspot.com>

(check the recipe sidebar)

Eventually they will also be on my web page in text format for easy
printing. Only a couple of months to go to bread salad season!

But they should be googlable under if you remember
ingredients.
