1205321 2011-05-27 23:33:00 About 7 Speedy Gonzales (78)
1205322 2011-05-27 23:33:00 I'd say 7.

4500 or thereabouts divided by 700 or 45 / 7= 6.43.

I'd allow 8 though unless you can juggle so each disc is full to capacity.

1205324 2011-05-27 23:39:00 OK Thanks. Don't fancy that. Will wait till an 8GB flash drive creeps into the budgt. Fingers xxx in the meantime. Got stuff I do not want to lose. Then I will transfer it to the desktop. PJ Poppa John (284)
