You know the saying, “You can’t have too much RAM or too much storage.”
Well, there is at least one case where a lot of RAM can cause problems.
My current desktop had 1 Gig of RAM and I recently bought an additional 2 Gigs since the price was so low. (And of course I used [...]

Everyone knows your friendly neighborhood admin is all about shortcut keys and uber productivity.

So are you wondering why you would want to save your searches?

How about Power Point [...]

I would appreciate a copy of Nero 8 because I want one. Also ATA would help me stop my Wife from nagging me if I had this copy. She keeps asking me when am I going to burn the DV movies of my kids onto a DVD. This has been going on for the last 3 yrs. You would be helping a save my mind and hearing. You would also be contributing to my kids happiness since Mommy would stop yelling at Daddy.

Hello,
I don’t want Nero 8 because it’s a Windows version and i’m using Ubuntu Linux :-)
But it’s nice to offer it.
If you have a linux version, think to me please.
Good luck to the winner

Nero certainly works better than my Roxio 9, which crashes my computer every time I launch it. Any part. Doesn’t matter. Plus, the box would be pretty on my legal software shelf.

I would love Nero 8 due to my constant use of burning media and my long time support of nero products, that and the fact that I check AtA over 20 times a time always hoping for a new post. I have increased my admin skills drastically by reading this site and Nero 8 would be another tool I can use to increase my skills.

Well, I’ve been trying to burn discs for a long time with no avail. An open fire seems to melt the disc, while the oven sends smoke through-out my house. Please, I hear this software is compatible with ovens so I can finally burn a disc!

Hey there guys…
great promotion with Nero 8…. I’m still using Nero 6 every day…. it’s one of the best programs for CD burning of any kind that i’ve ever used… I would never use any other program as Nero is user friendly & has all the features u need to function with what you need to do…
I’d benifit with Nero 8 & looking forward to seeing the new feautres and what has changed…
I’m a DJ in Sydney Australia so CD’s is the way i do things…
Cheers,
DJ Neil Aldini

Eoh, I say !! I raather think that I’m naturally entitled to this ‘Pretty Box’ as you call it. Can’t have some plebian with dirty fingernails getting their hands on it. They might get airs above their station in life. I happen to be 137′th in line to the throne and fifth in line to the toilet. I say, hurry up chaps, I have imbibed rather too much Dom Perignon.

I need Nero 8 because the power box on my good computer failed. Since I have a stand-in that only runs vista I cannot run Nero 6 anymore and will have to pay $60 or more for an upgrade. I am paying my way through college too. :(
