We have the C D wizard program installed on our computers and after learning the hard way ( Computer crashes, etc.), I now try to put most critical items on C D. However I use C D RW's, I find them fairly cheap at Wallmarts, but they are a brand name, then I use them in much the way I use to 3 1/2 floppies, I stick them in and add things until they are close to full. I hope they have a longer shelf life , then what was talked about above. The very most critical items of all ( now), I make 2 copies of on 2 seperate C D RW's, just in case, I have had some(cd-rw's) to fail on me. I am not part of the computer generation and would love some more info on CD-RW's, My Main Question is : am I wrong putting my trust in CD-RW's ??
