You are correct on two counts. I've never been able to burn a CD
properly even though I have a writer; audio CD's I write have unwanted
noise every second and my machine cannot find data CD's I've written.
Also, even if I could write CD's, it would take too long with dialup.

That would be excellent BUT I have a meeting in Preston on the 14th so
I'd not be able to be at the meeting. I'm happy to come somewhere at a
different time and if that is not convenient I'm still grateful for
the offer.
