One Problem with the following. You will have to configure the software 
on the cdrom to use directories on a harddrive. Not a small job even for 
a person with a lot of computer experience. Some programs have no way of 
setting directories to other than where they were installed.
Novel ide though :->

DJ>RUNNING OUT OF HARD DISK SPACE!!! Why spend big bucks on a new hard
DJ>disk  when you can archive the majority of your files to CD-ROM.
DJ>Instead of  just playing games, put that CD-ROM drive to work fot
DJ>you!! 

DJ>Here are just a few advantages to backing up your data on CD-ROM:

DJ>	o A single CDROM hold up to 650 megs of data.

DJ>	o Unlike tape backups, programs do not have to be restored to 
disk 
DJ>          to be used. This allows you to remove infrequently used
DJ>          programs  and data from your hard disk (i.e. clipart,
DJ>          graphics, sound  files, tax programs, etc).

DJ>	o Once written a CD-ROM can not be changed or erased. This 
removes 
DJ>	  all worries about viruses infecting your programs and 
accidental 
DJ>          erasures that can happen to tapes and floppies.

DJ>	o CDROMS are more reliable than magnetic media.

DJ>	o If you do not have 650 megs of data we can add more to your 
DJ>          disk later.

DJ>We can archive you hard disk to a CDROM disk in several ways... 

DJ>	o  You can send us a set of QIC-40/80 tapes.

DJ>	o  You can send us a set of floppy disks.

DJ>	o  You can send us a Syquest 270/105 disk cartridge

DJ>	o  We can come out to your site and backup you hard 
DJ>	   disk for you (So. Calif Only)!!!

DJ>	o For thoses outside of Southern California who do not have a
DJ>	  tape drive attached to there computer, we can rent you a 
portable
DJ>	  tape unit and the tapes ($25 additional fee).
DJ> 
DJ>Fast turn around time!! Don't send you data all the way to Florida to
