Mounting an ISO as a drive: no need to burn a CD/DVD
I picked up a useful bit of information this morning. Did you know that you don’t have to burn an ISO image to CD/DVD to access its files? Instead, you can mount the image as a local drive. This is handy because (a) you don’t have to wait to burn the image, (b) you don’t have to waste a DVD/CD, and (c) it’s faster because the files are accessed off the hard drive, not the CD/DVD drive.
Since more and more apps are downloadable as ISOs, I think this will be useful.

Checked this out the other day and loved it. Thanks for the heads up.
