Frustration

This certainly is frustrating. I have 75MB worth of photos I took around my neighborhood today, and I don't have enough room on my computer to save them, let alone spruce them up with Photoshop. I tried to save all my photos from the past few years to CD so I can erase them from my hard-drive, but the CD writer appears to make a copy of the files I select in RAM and then saves that to the CD. Again, I don't have 750MB of RAM, so it obviously uses the harddisk... but like I say, there's no space left there to even create and image to save to CD.

I try to save (very slowly) one directory of photos at a time, and it seems to be working, but when I try to check the CD afterwords just to make sure there all there before I erase them from my hard drive, I can't open the CD. Is my CD ok and only my computer is fricked up? or did nothing get written to the CD?

I guess it's times like these (and like when I am making Mfop) that I should be glad to have full access to the company web-server and don't have to worry about bandwidth and file size... my website is by far has grown to be the biggest on the server with all my photos. One of our clients is even a stock-photo company, yet my site is bigger.

I think that's something I am going to have to start worrying about though. Maybe I will have to stop uploading all my photos in their full multi-megabyte glory and start "optimizing" them for the web.
