By the way, how much does a DVD hold?

The common DVD blanks hold 4.5g or ~ 7 CDs worth of data.

 Does a DVD burner write to CDs too?

Yes & I have an external firewire DVD burner that I do backups to. Another nice thing is I can display movies on it as well. Just remember that not everyone has firewire so when you get an external drive you may want to get the USB/Firewire model for compatibility with more systems unless you don't care about other systems. I won't have a system without firewire. I had to get a Firewire PCMCIA card for my laptop. I can plug in a video camera to the firewire port & capture video directly plus XP has Firewire Network drivers built in.
