Using a CD Writer is not as gimmicky though! Besides my experience with them
has been that you can't you the computer while your writing or you are
liable to stuff it up. Thats with an internal IDE CD Writer, is using a USB
one any different?

Except I thought the compression was lossy not loss-less... Therefore not a
viable mechanism for digital data but rather only good for waveform data....
If
you can turn off compression you could of course write .zip or some other
compressed form to the drive...

what about a USB HP rewritable -- that oughta give the best solution since
most
CDROM (post '97) can read CDRW disks...
