You think so? really? I have actually went into all this trouble and read the document (at least parts of it). Among other things, it proposes adding $0.69 to the price of each CD. Now, each CD can store quite a few (say, 69 as a for instance) digital images. Do you really value your work at penny a photo? Seriously? OTOH, you probably backing up your PC from time to time (and if you don't, you should start doing it NOW!<g>). If you do it on CDs, that's added $70 for 65GB (one medium sizd HDD). Now, who exactly wins? I am not sure that I know either. I think it's time to stop the chit-chat and run to the nearest Best Buy to grab a couple of DVD-RW packs (or, CDR spindles) while it's cheap <g>
