	(And to think that for years I was SCSI-*only*.  Darn!)
	What is "aptapicam" exactly?   If I add it to my kernel GENERIC
	will other things blow up, [:-)]?  

	I've been going to<->fro with this whole tthing...   BSD is 
	basically a hard-core geek operating system. for servers, like my
	DNS server; it doen't make the best "desktop" OS.  ...Still,
	it'd be nice to be able to burn the few CD's that I *do* copy on
	tao.   Now, am i lazy or am i Lazy?

	The handbook has examples of how-to copy audio CD's doing the
	reads with dd.  I posted something yesteerday to see if that
	part could be done with a script.
