LANSchool 5.0 Complete package

Advantages: Huge array of built-in facilities
Disadvantages: Could be overkill if you only want to make copies.

...There never was anything really wrong with Adaptec’s Easy CD Creator 4.0 Deluxe, so why am I now writing about version 5.0 Platinum? Because bl**** Windows XP Pro won’t work with the older version, that’s why! However, it would only be a matter of time before I upgraded my CD-Writer to a newer faster model, and then support for 32-speed models probably wouldn’t exist on version 4 anyway, so the enforced necessity of the upgrade isn’t a COMPLETE waste of money. In the mean time, the software is now owned by Roxio, which sounds more like a Spanish cinema chain than a software house, but that’s by the by.

...There is nothing worse in a morning when you are all bleary eyed from the night before, you get into the office, turn on your computer only to find it is running at a snail's pace with one pop up after another gradually grinding your whole machine to a stop. This happened to me gradually over time until it got to the point where it would take me well over an hour to get my machine working properly using all the junk filters, anti-spy utilities and virus checkers to get rid of any suspicious little item and in the end I spoke to my godfather who used to work for Microsoft and with the name of a program I went off to PC World to buy it, where it was currently on offer.
