While CD-R technology has certainly improved since the early days (all of
about a year or two ago), it's still not as simple as just copying to a Jazz
or Zip. However, it's well worth it if compatibility and media cost are
your concerns.
And while DVD is on the horizon, I understand that the first drives will be
read-only, as was the case with CD's. PC Magazine estimates a minimum of a
year or two before the writable drives are available. If you have an
inclination to do this, don't wait on DVD; CD is likely to be with us for
some time yet.
