Thanks also from me!

K3b has always been a special app for me. It might very well be the application that kept me from switching back to Windows. When I tried to switch to Linux around the SuSe 8.x time the biggest obstacle was the fact that there was no decent CD burning application. The only application with an acceptable interface was CD Bakeoven. But you could not burn CD audio directly from MP3. I just could not believe there is not even a decent app to burn Audio CD's. I considered switching back to Windows because this was minimum functionality required for me to use KDE full-time. Soon after I discovered K3b which was then in its infancy. Anyway - it already worked great. I agree to many others who stated that K3b deserved the 1.0 long ago IMHO.
K3b is really a special application in OSS because it just never fails. It does exactly what you want and expect. Even with seldom-used functions. I never tried to burn a Video-DVD. Recently, a colleague wanted to burn one and his Windows system had lots of unexplicable errors and problems. He asked me if I could burn this under Linux. I was sceptical but tried it anyway. This went so flawlessly it's simply amazing. Thanks a lot for all the hard-work that went into this rock-stable product.
