I have backed all of my mp3 onto CD ROM...it was a LOT of discs but they will last a lot longer than I will and I can share them now too



Nah... The Firewire/USB case is MUCH better for that... cdrom's are ok, but with the drive, you can do copyright violations with much greater efficiency and speed (hypothetically speaking of course)...

Visiting someone who has some files you want? ZIP. Need to give some... ZIP. Latest demo from works t3? Firewire RULES.
