"In this segment we are going to talk about Roxie and we have been going through and uninstalling programs and one of the reasons that we uninstall programs has to do with learning curbs. You have a lot of things to learn, a lot of programs, a lot of things that are going on so you have to really be economical with the time that you have to learn different things and a lot of people don't get creative because they're just intimidated with this heavy learning curb. Especially when you are only going to be having something on your computer for 60 days and you know you don't have the money to buy it. So one of the reasons that we have eliminated the Roxie is we are assuming that we don't have the resources to stay with the program and we don't have the time and the money so we want to download some simple shareware, freeware programs that just absolutely gets out there and burns CD's and does something for us real quick and then we don't have the hassle of the functionality and that is the word. So we are going to check out and see what is going on now. You can see right here that I've just finished taking off Roxie my DVD basic and that's DVD editing software. If you are not ready for it you can let that go and what we are going to do right now is we are going to go down here to Firefox. We are going to launch that and we are going to look for a program called Image Burn. Now we are going to go to this Google window and we're just going to type in my mg and just burn, we better say search and the window will say do you want to do something on the protective site. The first one that comes up is the one we want the official website and here you go and you can spend some time seeing what it is. This thing can read an image to the disc, it can build an image from files on your computer network, it can write images to a disc, it can verify. There is a lot of things that this program can do and it is free shareware and it is free but we want to go to and find out if we want to download this program and remember we have this, everything pointy and you can go down to this window and you will see and click here for download."
