Betty, The burning software you use should show you when a CD is full. I know my EZ CD by Roxio does. As to how many will fit on a CD, it's according to the size or resolution. The higher the resolution, the bigger the size of the file. as to knowing in advance, yes you can right click on a folder of pictures and then click properties and it will show the size in megabytes. A typical CD has room for 700 megabytes of pictures or data. For instance, one of my picture folders has 111 pictures in it and the size is 42.5 megabytes. So you can see that would be a lot of pictures.

Not everything, perhaps, that I should have, 'cause I just don't have the stamina (concentration?) to do it all. But I do have most the important stuff. I think. Except for my photos. I don't have a huge collection....probably 2 to 300. I guess my question is, when a CD has written to its maximum, does it let you know so you can put in a new one? And is there anyway to judge beforehand, how many pics will fit on a CD? Should I start a new thread about Picassa, so many someone out there that is knowledgeable it can offer suggestions on how to copy them> I can't thank you guys enough, Troth and Don, especially. I now have the backup, and keeping my fingers crossed that my 'puter won't crash. I'm leaving Monday to see my grandchildren and daughter for the first time in over a year. I hope I don't come home to a dead computer! There's no way I can do anything this week. And when I come back, I can only hope it will last until I'm able to get a hard drive and someone to install it. -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
