Well, yeah, but you can get several regular cds' content on one burned data cd.
I wouldn't go the route of hard drives; just think how much stuff you'd lose
when a hard drive malfunctions. That happened to me a year ago with a hard
drive; fortunately, it gave me enough warning to transfer my linux system to a
new drive before the end--you don't always get that kind of warning though. At
least if a data cd malfunctions it's not most of your collection.
Sometimes you can get really good deals if you watch places like office depot
for sales of 200-cd packs or spools. Only the last time I tried to use the
office depot site, I couldn't complete my order and had to call it in. But there
are deals out there.
I give my jewel cases for regular cds away to other people now because I like
the binders so
much better.
