Only 200 to 300? I hit that a long time ago but I have my own catalogging system - file boxes that used to have 1.2mb floppies, now used to store the master CD in a paper sleeve, and in order of the type of thing that's on the cd - plus I have working duplicates of my music Cd's for the DJ unit so that I never have to run my originals not take them on the road with me. Granted all is on the rackmount PC in mp3 format but should problems arise we go to studio cd player (rackmount too) and run CD's directly. I just bought 3 100Cd 80 min CD spindles for $14 each spindle and still have 1 and a quarter left (but one spindle is for a customer though) -----Original Message----- From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Cuffy10@xxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 12:27 PM To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [CTS] Re: No CTS In a message dated 4/21/04 10:11:57 AM Pacific Daylight Time, hbrown@xxxxxxxx writes: I love this thing. I may sleep with it. You'll get over that as soon as you accumulate 200-300 cd's and want something off one of them. Get Catfish or Cathy, freebies, to catalog all the items you burn......... otherwise you'll be lost. What did you get for burner software? If you have Nero you can use it to make ISO images without ever burning anything to CD. For daily backups it's hard to beat the image system. With a Virtual CD Drive loaded you can open the images in the virtual drive and use it like a HDD. Lots of ideas to play with so have fun but I really can't recommend a CDRom drive as a bedmate !!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Age is not a particularly interesting subject.
