<x-tab> </x-tab>Well,
until the costs of DVD 'burning' come down and by a long way I'll be
sticking to CD's. Even although they only offer ~650Mb that's still a lot
of images even as tifs. Apparently the life of CD's is not yet over as
developments in CD technology will greatly increase their storage
capacity and if anything it's DVD's that will be under bit of pressure.
The next few years will definitely be interesting as far as image
archiving and the growing use of CD's for the teaching is concerned.
