I'm in the same boat, except with the JA version of the same fridge (I like the JA handles better). Even shaving off a couple of inches would be a plus for me. Plus I truly wanted the integrated (paneled) look. But I've been to three showrooms to see the Liebherr, and the doors have been really awful in the closing/opening... they rub together and pull on each other. Some have taken a shove to close. Not what I want to pay 6K for plus the panels/handles. I've emailed the American company that does customer service for Liebherr... last Thursday... for where I could see a new one with "fixed" doors. Haven't heard back yet. It seems like people are happy with this fridge once they have their doors fixed. But I wouldn't want to spring for it unless I see one that is a pleasure to use. We really love that it makes real ice cubes, not crescent ice! A family pet peeve worth some $$ to eliminate.

Loralee, regardless of the software you will eventually settle on, you will need to use multiple DVD's unless you opt for an external hard drive. I suggest that you take an afternoon and use a disk burning application (I can't stand Roxio, more on this later) to back up the files and folders of your choosing. If your DVD writer is capable, use double layered DVD-R's as they are 8.5 GB each. Then, get in the habit of backing up new files to dvd on a regular basis. A real simple solution would be to buy an external USB or Firewire hard drive and copy over your precious files, though I would still make DVD's and put them away. Most, if not all, external drives come with some sort of "back-up" software. As Ravencajun suggests, Trueimage is pretty good. I do not recommend anything by Roxio as their software has proven to conflict with hardware drivers and also creates problems when installed with other software. It doesn't play well with other software. I have made many repairs to friends and family computers that Roxio has caused. There are many other cd/dvd burning software solutions available, I am partial to Nero. I also suggest Total Commander as a file manager. It far exceeds the capability of Windows Explorer and once you use it, you'll never look back. If you get an external hard drive and use total commander, you'll be done in no time at all. Good luck.

In my previous post, ignore last question. I should've asked is he using the latest version of Quicktime? is he trying to burn a CD or a DVD? (you mentioned both) which program is he using to burn the disc? Is he using any software that came with the camera to accomplish any part of this process? If yes, what is it?

Thanks, Zep516! I'm stretching my old grey cells around the wonderful info on your site. If (When) I have more questions/issues, should I ask the question here...on one that site? Again, Thanks. I know I'll manage this, it's just slow going for my analog mind.
