Siobhan, I'm archiving quarterly newsletters, for one thing. We went with CD-RW, not knowing about their unreliability (that not being a feature usually when one buys things) because one measly newsletter hardly takes up any room at all and we wanted to be able to add them as we went along. We've

Sherry, If you are running Windows XP (which I doubt since you are standardized on NN 4.x) you can burn a cd by dragging and dropping on the cdrom drive. I don't know anything about Speedy CD but with EZ CD Creator even if you create the files with UDF format once the cd is full you can then
