If you dont mind a question from a dummy... Im in the process of selecting a new PC, one of my main concerns is removable storage. Specifically, I have financial records that are updated bi-weekly and are too large to be backed up to a floppy. My question is, will a CD-RW do the job for me (I'm wondering if the CD's can be re-written on a regular and systematic basis like a floppy) or is there a finite number of times that a CD can be re-written before it needs to be replaced...if so, I'm considering a zip drive and a DVD drive in the same unit. I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks, G
