Just wondering if anyone else out there has allot of software. Which ones should I throw out? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"></STRONG>
same here .. and i just threw out old old versions of stuff a while back
i used to throw out old versions of software... but i'm starting not to... sometimes there is a use for it once in a blue moon... heh... i learned that leason before!
WHAT??? You want to to count?? I have no idea?!?! I have many many many burned cds though. I have about 500 backup discs. Most are old but i still have them in case i need them. I have a backup copy of every program that I ever bought. And some cds of programs that ummm uhhh well they, well you see, umm just appeared on my drive!! I dont know where they came from. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> Oh well hehe. Oh yeah i cant forget my beta test cds! I have a burned cd of almost every Windows XP build that came out to testers. And the same with Office XP! And beta tests before that. I dont have anyroom for them. Well i think that is enough. hehe. My mom is always telling me to get rid of my old cds. I still dont do it. Just put them somewhere else. I am proud of my cd collection. I am sure it is worth well over $100,000 (cause i have MSDN Universal through work). I think you can never have too many cds!
Ok I admit that I am a bit of a packrat. There are well over 300 cd's full of back ups and drivers and old apps that seem to drift away and get lost when you need them. On the shelf remains a cassette tape recorder for my commodore64 along with the 5.25's for my trash80....this was supposed to be a hobby but it turned into a business and now you can never have enough old drivers and apps on hand for the cheapskates
who have champagne tastes on a beer pocketbook
The only software i've ever paid for was Counter-Strike...and that really sucks cause it's a free download <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
I am currently working on my 4th 100 spindle.
ahmm... i burned 4 CD's using my friends CD WRITER. i don't have a CD WRITER. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
I have like 50 CD's that are burned.
Most are backups of original discs, because
I always find a way to scratch them.
Some are movies & Freeware downloaded when I had a cable modem. I also download all the updated drivers for specific PC's & Operating Systems. Saves Alot Of Time.
Burned cds.... well, bein a Canadian and all... we burn till the cows come home.. so I have... on hand
300 burnt...
210 blanks...
Stockin up in case the price triples in summertime...
HSH
80or so mp3, 300 or so *backups* and maybe 50 assorted discs <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Software - 5 O/S's
Music - 40-50
I think the title of this topic should have been "how many NON-burned cd do you have?" I think I have less than 10 non burned cd's

Somewhere between 600 and 700 - mostly freeware downloads, music, videos clip art, and backups of damaged cd's - I only use about 20 of them though.
250+.
LETS JUST SAY IVE GOT MORE COFFEE CUP COASTERS THAN I HAVE COFFEE CUPS.
I need to get another 200 case, but for now, I do cycle out the old, unused programs to coasters (like EZCD 3.01). They make pretty lights in the microwave!
hmmm. . . . at work 400+ mostly backups and Ghost images.
At home - around 450.
How many coasters have I made? Too many! – At least 50 or more (primarily buffer underruns from my first burner).
I'm right on your tail! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> I got my 8-disc duplicator last week, so now we will be able to deploy new systems with restore CDs without paying a duplication service... I'll be burning about 100 a week now, but they won't go in my collection...Quote:

Actually, if they're all copies the value is $0.00 <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">Quote:

well since everyone is being honest........ yah right!!!!
anyways on the coaster subject, my new Lite-On burner with Burn-Proof Technology has sure cut down on the coasters (never had once since) its so nice when you have a buffer underun, and you burner stops and starts again without wrecking the cd, if you don't have, i recomed it, i don't know how i survived without it
GRRRR...i WISH i had about 20 more...that would mean i wouldnt have lost anything when i accidently formatted the wrong hard drive in my laptop....
I've got around 12 burned CD's of back-up data. I am glad I saw this post. I need to probably make two more after our big photo shoots the last two weekends. I used to burn using cdr/w, but I just do cd-r anymore.
