I was always afraid to own one of these. but I was given one for
chrismas and now everyone is pressuring me to install it. I got a cd
burner and I am really afraid of the fire risks when using it. I
really dont want my computer to burn and am even more worried about my
home and family. Please tell me the risks are severe so I can print
the message and show it to the person that gave me this thing. I'd
really rather return it for a refund. I dont like things that burn
and could cause a serious fire. I really dont want to burn no cd
anyhow because I got a thing that plays the music on them.

Mario,

I think their called CDs rather than Cds. They use powerful laser beams
which can burn through plastic. Thus they may be extremely dangerous. These
devices also contain trace amounts of noxious chemicals, so sending it to
the dump may not be legal where you live.
I'll help you since I'm a humanitarian. E-mail me and I'll send you my
shipping address. Ship the CD burner in it's box with all of the paperwork,
including the purchase receipt and the warranty card to me. I'll take it
from there.

If you use a CD burner, you need to install an automatic fire
suppression system like those used in large commercial buildings.
Also, have a second phone line never to be used except to call the
fire department. Completely disconnect your computer and lock it in a
fireproof safe every time you leave the computer room for any reason

Alternatively, replace the CD burner with a Blu-Ray DVD burner. These
use blue lasers, and everybody knows that blue is a cooler color which
is much less likely to start a fire.

Personally I would only give a 1 at best. Now if he had trolled this
in a computer NG, that would have bought the extra 0.4 point.

Overkill. Just keep a bucket of water next to the computer, and don't
leave the room.
