    Burning junk to CD!

    Modern time junk burning!

    Files to CD-R

    about 30 GB

      Edit: I thought I read 3gig!

                  a 24 gig DAT drive would do it in a few hours and they arent that expensive either

                  grabbed mine on Ebay for under a $100

                      You're complaining about 30G? I got 48 waiting to be burned!

                              I think my time is worth more than that.

                              30Gigs = around 40 CDs = >200 minutes to sitting near the computer, changing and authoring the CDs.

                              That's over 3 hours with a fast burner.

                              Why not get a spare 80GB (~80$) HDD for backup ?

                                  Because I can get 50 cd's for 20$
                                  A spare 80 hdd is atleast 150$ and twice for a FireWire one

                                      And your time is worthless ? Work 2 extra hours and you'll get the HDD which holds around 100CDs

                                              Yeah, that is what I was thinking, not a very good backup...

                                                  I just did 12 gig a couple of months back with a 8x burner.

                                                      This is the point at which I'd question just how much of that stuff I really need to save.

                                                      'Course, I usually burn stuff disk by disk whenever I get enough to fill a disk, so my drive never gets that packed.

                                                      I can't talk. God only knows how many burned disks I have laying around here!
