I need to burn several CDs of pictures, music and documents on my PB G4 wit=
h
Superdrive. I thought about getting a stack of 50 at Staples, but my friend
who was with me said those CDs are junk. He recommended Imitation.
I have never burned CDs. Is there are a good brand or bad brand on the
market? How good are the CDs at Sam=B9s? Is there anything I need to know
before starting this task? My friend say I simply pop the blank CD into the
Superdrive, select the music, pictures or documents and click Burn. Is it
really that easy?
Thank you for any advice or words of wisdom.

You might want to have a look at this article on photo.net: http://www.photo.net/mjohnston/column53/
Their interest (and mine) is with the archival qualities of CDs for long-term storage of image files, and some of the conclusions that are emerging about CDs are a bit disturbing. Quite a lot of photographers are realising that the humble photo negative is actually a really good storage medium - there are an awful lot of them that have survived 100 years or more, even 150 years, in perfect condition, with
only minimal storage care - basically, keep 'em dry & in the dark. Could we see a swing back to film? Hmm, probably not, but archival storage of images is a serious issue.
