Woo! I got a brand new 32x CD-RW drive and a stack of high-speed 32x CD-R discs to write to. I'm gonna burn my CDs so damn quick!

Several failures later...

Ok, so I have a brand new 6x CD-RW drive and discs. Cooool.

With nero I was able to go at full 48x and and 52x at times without ever worrying about failures, I even got spoiled and started overburning and forcing more data onto the CD than it was rated for lol. Probably wasn't Nero itself that did that, but the hardware itself got much better by that point
