I have had 3 QUE Fire burners, one at work and one at home plus one which was replaced early because it wouldn't work. Conflict between the hardware, its software, and other extensions made them totally unreliable. If by chance the burner could be found, it worked OK, but....... Whether using the original QUE software, bundled Toast LE or the full Toast software, it was seemingly just a matter of chance that the system would find the burner. Prayer made no difference, neither did a stream of profanity. I more than once got advice from the HelpDesk which was basically about which extensions to switch off. Which I had done anyway. They are definitely not good for the health. -- from Paul Knight (JapanEd) <www.japaned.com> 43 Burn Street, Levin, New Zealand 5500 Ph: 64 6 368 9192 Fax 64 6 368 9193 eMail: paul.knight at internet.co.nz
