Well, first let me say, that I honestly don't know, why we have to celebrate this in Austria ... aside from pleasing the industry ... which shouldn't really be a reason for doing something like that ...
At least this year's last day of October seems to have been way more quiet than last year. Only 3 groups turned up with the first one consisting of what looked like 5-7 year olds in nice costumes. They appeared as happy about the chocolate I gave them as if I'd have given them the most delicious or expensive thing in the world :-) It was really great seeing them happy even about the small things in life :-)

Everybody who has a Mac knows, that burning DVDs/CDs works out of the box if you have a superdrive in your favorite box. But at least for me the whole process wasn't really intuitive esp. with when you're working with re-writable media where you have to first erase the whole thing using the Disk utilities . I'm also not really a big fan of the whole Burning folder idea (although it is great, that it automatically works with symbolic links). If I want to keep a copy of what I burned on my harddisk, I use ISO files ;-)
