580 years? Wow, too bad Gutenberg didn't know that computers had been around since 1424. He could have saved a lot of time needlessly spent on inventing that printing press thingie. And later on, Josquin des Pres could have used Finale to write all those motets...

Anyway, if you want to burn a CD to be used on Windows, you can just use the Finder. Just inserting a blank CD, dragging your files onto the icon that shows up in the Desktop, and choosing "Burn Disc" from the File menu should do the trick. If you want to use Toast, burn the CD's in ISO 9660 format and it will work great.

And of course, you are making them a copy of their own software... that they purchased...but just kinda left at your house....
