Hiya,

     Well, that is your fault for using a slow CDROM drive.  I have
copied 60mb in significantly less time.  Like move the folder over and
wait a few moments (possibly even a couple of minutes) then it is
done.

     These do not seem like valid 'I Hate CDROM' comments.  In fact, I
am very leary of a posting that asks for Hate comments.  Perhaps one
that asked for constructive criticism.  Sounds like an Apple maligner
may be loose on this group.
