There is a place in London that the firm I work for uses to put
photographs onto Cd for displaying at shows, I'll see if I can get the
address and the cost for you.

Yes, Buy a tape streamer! I know you think its excessive but it is
very handy, I have a Iomega Ditto 800mb tape streamer that I bought
just before upgrading to Windows 95, After the initial outlay and the
cost of the tapes (approx. �120 for the drive and �20 per tape) its
very inexpensive to run and its easy to set-up.
I have do a full backup every 6 weeks or so which takes just under two
hours for 800mb of data and programs.
The big advantage is the tapes can be reused which the CD-roms cannot.
