"Okay, now it's going to give you a bunch of places where you can download it, lets just choose the first one. And here's another window, and we want to download it now. And we want to save the file. And you can see that since we were using the Firefox, look how quick that came down, and where it says it's going into, all files downloaded to download, so okay, you can say, open, you can do that here, you don't have to go through the whole process, and we say okay, we know it's a executable file, we want it to execute, and we want to allow this to happen. And by the way, you can right now close that folder. And we want to go to the window and hit next, we're going to take all the defaults here, it's ready to install, and it says, would you like it to check regularly for updates, yes we do, if they update it, we want to know. And here you go, we say run it, and there's finish. And guess what, here we go, we have a whole menu here, we can choose to write it image, file to disk, we can go over here and write folders, files and folders, and create, yes to have a help menu, verify this, discovery, you can choose which process you want to do, and this program will guide you through it, the help tools they have, helps. And we did this all with something that won't be gone in 30 or 60 days, and a low learning curb, because it's all done with menus. So that's Image Burn, and it's a good product."
