One advantage of an external hard drive, is if your computer gives up the ghost you have all your important info on the external drive. If you are a music or old time radio buff you have that set aside if your computer goes down. Stu [EMAIL PROTECTED] IF YOU WORRY, YOU DIDN'T PRAY. IF YOU HAVE PRAYED, DON'T WORRY.

Sharon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Joseph Lee Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 8:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Burning data to a disc Hi Chris, There is a type of program called CD/DVD Authoring software which allows you to burn data to a disc. Some of them include Nero and Easth CD/DVD Creator. Slight correction: since Windows Media Player is a media application, you can burn only music and video files onto a disc. For general data such as documents, you'll need the authoring program. For data security reason, I highly recommend purchasing an external hard drive (the largest in existence is a 1 TB hard drive). Cheers, Joseph P.S. TB stands for Terabyte (1000 gigabytes). > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Chris Feist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[email protected] >Date sent: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:54:49 -0500 >Subject: [Blind-Computing] Burning data to a disc >Hi.
