It's always rude to shout. It's expremely rude to shout complaints about a gift.

I would think that was a limitation, but it certainly doesn't apply to our product.

Agreed, it's worked fine for me on my OS/2 Warp 3 box....

What you have to be careful about is that you use a method that copies the ISO file to the CD correctly, a simple  "copy" command  isn't could enough you want a utility that can burn ISO images.

You are entirely correct, and I was being boorish.  Please accept my sincere apologies, and sincere thanks for making a great product available to us.

I was very frustrated - I have probably made 30+ coasters in the last couple of days. The problem is NOT SME - it's a Mac OSX thing, and I should be directing my anger at Apple. Apple has not provided a fully functional disk burning capability; Apple used to be more universal than that.

Again, I apologize for SHOUTING but what I really wanted to do was empty a .44 mag into the CRT

You should use CD-RW to avoid burning coasters.  Especially if you find you have problems.  There is no reason to keep on making coasters!

Rewritable CDs work just fine for burning an ISO.
