Ivan, While there certainly are reasonable limitations and exceptions, burning a CD is certainly not something that can generally be done at the same time while you are "multitasking" and designing a board with Protel, or even writing code, and is in fact somehting you could very easily do on at least 2 of the other 4 machines you have available right there at your desk, while you continued to "work" on your "work" machine.
Certainly there may be other "cad" tasks that are best shared on your "work" machine, but not very much of an arguement can be made to say that burning CD's, for whatever reason, is one of them, especially when it is with the software under discussion as being the problem in the original posts. The primary point of my original post was to raise awareness of peoples investment in their Protel "Machine / Toolbox", so as to prevent problems by needlessly trying to "multitask" on that machine where certain tasks, such as burning a CD, can be done so easily elsewhere. There really is no reason to invite problems on your Protel "Machine /Toolbox" when you do not have to.
