One thing I find is that XP keeps waking up my CDROMS just to check
something is there. What's the whole point of Autorun then ? I have to keep
a CD in both of the drives otherwise XP locks up the system for about 15
seconds and then returns control for about 10 seconds before locking up
again. Sigh... I gonna have to get around to re-installing Linux. ;^)
