Well my Computer is "supposed" to have a built in CD burner in the standard CD-ROM so I figured since my regular CDs tend to get warm if I've had to use them for hours then I wasn't actually planning on burning disks for several hours streight.
Thanks for the advice though it's definately good to know that there is actually something "official" about the whole CD heating up thing
And actually I think my CD-Rom can go faster then 40x but I don't remember exactly....I may have some other numbers stuck in my head as happens too often.
