I have a new CD/DVD burner I bought for my old PowerBook, but it won't work on that machine. It does work on a different old PowerBook. I want to try it on my new Efika SmartBook.

Any suggestions where to look?

\"It is essential for automatic computation that, instead of containing every single instruction necessary to carry out the program, the coded program include methods for generating instructions which are needed to carry out the program. ... One measure of the extent to which an automatic digital computer is used effectively is given by the ratio of the number of instructions formed in the machine to that of the instructions inserted into the machine initially.\" Mathematical Machines Volume I Digital Computers ©1961 Francis J. Murray

If so, then why is this ratio zero on most modern computer software?

Start "Ubuntu Software Center" from the bottom of the Applications menu, and install "Brasero" (you can search for it).
