RE: [Slightly OFF-TOPIC] CD-Writers

Whoa. Hold up a minute.

I mis-read Sean's original and mistakenly replied.

He wasn't asking for a backup medium. He was asking if he could copy Oracle software. I'd like to see him get an answer to his question.

Sean,
We copy our NT software to a file share so that users can install to their clients. So I assume you can copy the software to CD.

Duh. My fault.
