   Burn? What is this "burn" you speak of? Ah, you refer to the primitive   
   practice of putting data on a plastic disc to transfer from one computer   
   to another. Also called "sneakernet". The only things I had to burn were   
   the initial install discs, and I burned those to CD-R as a regular   
   ISO-9660 volume.   
      
   The Xbox isn't just the first console to come standard with a hard   
   drive, it's also the first console to come standard with 100-baseT. FTP   
   plus the xbiso extractor utility is all that I need to install   
   downloads.    
      
   And Toast has problems because its "automatic" ISO recognition screws   
   things up with rips unless you go out of your way to manually tell it   
   not to screw things up. Every. Time. You. Burn. Something.
