If your not using them for a while, take a record of what files are what and
archive them. Personaly I use ARJ, but ZIP, LHA, ARC, etc are all OK.
Depending on the file format, you can get between 85% and 1% compression.
Alternativly get a Jaz or Zip drive (removable media, stores *lots* more
than floppies) or a CD writer.

Personal preference: if you add a JPG to a CDR file then the CDR file
increases in size by the origional JPG size.

Yes you can put them all into a single resource; there are several packages
like that, the one I know of came with my scanner (Paperport). No it will
not save disk space, the only option is to archive the files not in use.
