One word of warning, however, especially in light of Jim Houston's
comments below, and in conflict with a previous submitter. The writable
CD's are NOT indestructable. They are very different from the audio CD's
you are used to seeing. I am embarased to admit it, but I accidently
dropped one in which I had archived a couple of thousand listmode files.
Over half the CD was completely trashed. These writable CD's are easily
scratched. I second Jim Houston's comments on keeping a back-up to the
archive.
