Or you could download a decent dictionary for easy reference. :p

Ludicrous a. Absurd, laughable, ridiculous.

Sorry chill, no offence intended here either, but you tickled my sense of ridiculous.

However, it would be quite "laughable" (To quote your dictionary) trying to backup (The recently totalled) 22 Gigs worth to CD! My apologies about the spelling mistake too ;-)

22 * 1024 = 22528MB worth of data
22528 / 700MB CD = 33 CD's worth!

Burn them at 16x (About 5-6 mins each), and you've got yourself a several hour backup job which requires me to sit there the WHOLE time.

DVD Backups are different...
22528 / 4485MB (DVD Size) = 5 DVD's (little over)
Therefor, at 15 mins a DVD (Burning at 4x here), that's still 1 1/2 hours

But at least Im not changing Disc's every 5 mins.

That's my logic on the situation anyways.


Chill.
