They're a bit slow to write to, but other than that I don't see any reason not to. My experience suggests you can't count on CD-RWs for long-term backups...like more than a few years. CD-Rs seem to hold up pretty well as long as you don't expose them to direct sunlight. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
