CD-RWs

Well maybe there are things that the teacher wants to use in a fast swap way like old flopies only bigger (Zip 100-200MB; CD-RW - 650MB)
Nero has a tool called InCD that makes your CD-RW work like a floppy, maning that you just drag in and out of the CD-ROM and it automaticly writes, copies, and erase the data. But this process cut's the CD-RW's life time considerably allowing you around 20-30 uses.
If it is used as a regula CD-R, you can burn all the information you need, and when it's full and you can change everything on it, you could just erase data, and you have another clean CD-R(W)

I think this way you have over 100 uses (depends on the quality of the CD-RW)

Argh.. don't waste your money GM get a flash drive. soo much easier when I did computer graphic and design it was either that or a zip disk I mean I'd rather have the portable pocketable disk then to carry a cd that might get scratched..

This is the walmart version but I bet you can find cheaper and better

If the CD gets scratched, you just make another one. It's not that hard. They are very cheap nowadays and if you don't have a backup on your computer then you might as well stop taking the class and learn common sense

Lol. true but I still prefer flash pens so easy no wasted time burning or backing up just the files going to the drive much faster than say burning or reburning a cd.

Or why not a USB storage pen. I/m not sure how big it's by now, but it's easy to use, fast in transfer, small for transport, and reusable until you break it.

exactly

Nero isn't free, but it's a good program for burning music. It's worth the money, I think, but you being a student and all......
