Hi, folks.

I fully realize that the following question might be "off topic" for this
list, so if someone wants to respond to me off list, rather than cluttering
the list up with discussion of the topic, that'll be fine.

I need to find a way to easily save files onto a CD.  I have been using "zip
disks" as back-ups for the various professional and personal files that I
create, but would like to start backing things up on CD's.  Many of the
files can be put permanently on recordable disks, although I would like the
option of using rewritable disks for files that will need periodic updating.

From what I can gather, it seems much more difficult to save files to a CD
than to zip disks, my hard drive, or even a floppy disk.  More commands and
steps seem to be involved, and I haven't been able to get a consistent
handle on them.

Someone suggested to me that the CD maker program on my new HP 520N computer
with Windows XP might not be the best way to go.

Is there another CD creator program that is easier to use?  If so, could
someone refer me to it, or send me a copy?

I know that for some of you guys, these questions really seem elementary,
but this is a new area of computing that I simply haven't looked into very
much until now.

Thanks for taking my question here.
