Stupid Mac Boo-boos
From Fred Showker
What happens when you assume something's going to work the way
it's supposed to? And you don't read the book?
Last week my Digital Graphics class was poised to turn in their
digital files for grading. One of my favorite things about teaching
this course at James Madison University is I never have to grade
"papers" in the old fashioned sense. This year it would be doubly nice
with our new lab of 20 flat-panel iMacs with CD-RW drives. They can
simply turn in their work to the master iMac (mine) and then burn
their work to a CD-RW disc. I would burn them all to mine, then return
to my office for grading.
New Murphy's Law: When you assume the CD-RW drive in your iMac will
burn multiple sessions from the Finder, you destroy 20 CD-RW discs.
After discovering all the students burned a single file to their
discs, I figured it was time to pick up an OSX book and figure out
what we did wrong.
After several hours of digging and digging, the top ten OSX books
indicated we had done the right thing! Then according to the
"Inside OSX: Special Edition" book I discover the finder does not
burn multiple session CD-RW discs as multiple session. It renders
them as single session, locked discs after the first burn.
So, I went hunting for shareware or freeware to burn
multiple-sessions, and I've listed them at:

If you know of any others, please let me know.
