Saving, mailing, and creating hard copies of my ph What is the difference between a CDR and a CDRW? I can not fill one CD quickly, but would like to add on to without erasing what I have already burned on. How do I do that? Are there quality differences in CD's? Is one kind better for photos than music? Is there a way to email photos to friends of quality and not overload the email system? Would a web page be better for this? If so, how do I do that? I have a Pentium 3 PC with Office and Professional and ME.

Hello All, A CD-R - is a write once medium (you can do mutisession writes to the CD until it is full) usually without loosing the information already contained there in. A CD-RW - is a re-writable medium (you can write to the CD and re-write to the CD up to a 1000 times or more - so they say). Personally I do not use mutli-session writes to CD-R's or CD-RW's. My personal preference - my images are digital and cannot be replaced if lost. I advise to burn your images to 2 CD's (they are so cheap these days - Brands are usually irrelevant to me at this point in time). One to a CD-R as a multisession - until you fill the disk, and also to a CD-RW as a once only write (finalize disc). When you wish to add more files to the CD-RW - copy all the existing files to a folder on your hard drive - and add the new files to that folder - then erase the CD-RW. Then burn the contents of the folder of the old and new images back to the CD-RW (I would also keep a copy of all your images on a seperate Hard disk drive as well. Most free email systems will not let you send or receive email that are larger then 1.2 to 1.4 MB's in size - that is alot of good quality jpg images for computer viewing. Good quality will depend upon whether or not you what the recipients to print out the images - in that case - burn them to a CD and send it too them. The same problem will occurr with webpages - most free webpages have a MB size capacity. Images for print quality need to be between 240dpi and 300dpi - generally. Images for the web and email are usually 72dpi - good quality to view on your screen - no good for printing. If you are constantly suffering the Blue screen of death when you are working on your computer - it is because of Windows ME - go to either windows 98se or windows XP. This is only a very superficial response to your questions - some of the questions you have asked have had books with 100 plus pages writen on the subjects, by multitudes of Authors.
