Give me a break.<br> <br> All I want to do is burn cds and dvds!<br> <br> So, my question is: what are the good, honest, slim products out there which allow you to burn CDs and DVDs with no fuss and don't require hundreds of megabytes of storage to do it. I prefer GNU products, but have no problems about quality, no-nonsense commercial products either. What are the cool kids using*?<br> <br> My environment is Windows XP and Server 2003.
