Hi Brian

I use a CD-RW for burning my own audio CDs and backing up data. If you are
used to a tape backup system then I'm sure you will enjoy how much quicker
backing things up will be with a CD-RW drive. Not only will it be faster,
but a CD will hold more data than a tape, and for what it costs for a tape
cartridge you can probably get 5 blank CD-RW disks. I would strongly
recommend getting a CD-RW drive. It is the best investment I have ever made
for my computer.
