    Ah fuck, I remember Nero, and I know why it is called Nero (because Nero and the burning of rome), but I never connect the ROM to ROME.

    I still have a copy of Nero Express on a DVD in my bookcase.

    Not that I use it very much - if I ever need to burn an iso Ill use xfburn or brasero or something like that, as I run Linux now. It's more if I need to burn data onto disk's to get it off an older PC.
