Which is your preferred portable media format?

i use CD-RWs often...has anyone used abCD 1.5 before? it's giving me a bunch of BS problems, like it wont read CDs that have been formatted under a previous installation of abCD 1.5 :mad::mad:. Some of my work was on there and I don't have an extra copy of it :mad::mad:

[Coolin]

I don't really need to use CD's more than once... So I'm going with CD-R, since they are so inexpensive and the CD's work on almost any computer.

It's not like I have a choice, is it!:mad:

I like and user cd-rs, but there is something else tha Iomega makes that holds 3gigs or something. it sounds sort of cool

I think that cdRs are the bast though. next to floppies it is the most convient way to transfer data from one computer to another

are dvd-rs and burners out?

[niv]

yeah, they are: http://www.jandr.com/ :p

Damn, I need one of those. For now I'm using CD-R.

Anybody here use 5.25" Floppies? :D

[Dusty]

Anybody here use 5.25" Floppies?Yes. Not those fancy high-density ones, just the plain ol' single sided/single density. Obviously, I don't use them for modern uses, but I do use them to save old TRS-80 software that I've downloaded so that I can use it on my real TRS-80 instead of some crappy emulator. But yes, I do regularly use 5¼ inch floppies.

For modern stuff, what I can't do by LAN I do by disk (3½), what I can't do by disk I do by CD-R.

i still have an 80386SX with a Pentium I overdrive at 66 Mhz with 32 MB RAM and 3.5"/5.25" disk drives :D

Been using d-r for a couple months. I think if I had to make one more spanned-floppy zip archive it would drive me insane!

[meow]

I can see you would have problems handling those small floppies. :)

What about band stations? I can get lay my hands on an older one. I've heard something bad about them but I don't remember what.
