My approach doesn't use a Linux CD writer.  I have a weekly cron job
that creates ISO images then transfers them (using smbclient) to a
Windoze machine.  This would be enough for me if the two machines didn't
sit next to each other.  ;-)  As it is, I still burn the images to CD on
occasion.

So he went inside there to take on what he found.
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?
