You are correct. If I do that I can use the disk on different platforms. But it just seems so wasteful. One CD holds something like 700 MB. My presentations are typically 5 MB.
In that storage range consider a jumpdrive. I've had a 500mb USB jumpdrive for a couple of years that cost $50. It connects to Windoze PC and Macs (down at Kinko's Fedex) without difficulty. These days, I'm not recommending jumpdrives. About three weeks ago I picked up a ScanDisk SANSA mp3 player with 512mb of storage space. It was on sale at the Staples 400 South SLC store for $50. It also comes up as a generic USB drive device. (I haven't tried it on a Mac yet, but have no reason to believe it would not be detected.) You can put 3 music cds on it, use it to dictate letters to a secretary for another hour, and still have 256mb of storage space for files. Or just wait another year. I suspect all this stuff will come standard with a cell phone. - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
