The s/w is telling me that it's writing at 40X but it could just mean
that it's using the fastest speed possible (but that could be slower
than 40X). Who knows. This is a goddamn Windows program, so who the
hell knows what's going on. It's not like I can truss a process or edit
a config file somewhere to find out what the retarded program is doing
under the hood. But anyway, I can't force the software to use a slower
speed.
