ALL these CD's and DVD's sure pile up...its like FLOPPY disk deja vu all over again!  These days, it doesn't take much to fill up  A CD OR DVD with all the pix in RAW, tif or PSD formats.

Backing up to CD/DVD gets tedious to me.    My dvd burner takes about 45 mins to an hour to make a data Dvd.  I just decided to do my burning at night...just let it go through the motions while I'm catchin'  zzzzz's.  Yeah,  I could probably upgrade to a newer/faster Dual layer DVD drive,  but I'm not so sure that its worth it!   Catalogging them all is a whole OTHER story in itself! 

I'm seriously thinking of going the external HD route myself.   Burning a dvd here & there as needed.
