Why record on CD ROM?
With its large storage capacity CD ROM is an ideal medium for storing high quality photofiles. Floppy disks dont hold enough data for high resolution pictures although they are suited to storing compressed photofiles. Other computer storage media could be used but they arn’t usable on the majority of PCs which only have cd rom and floppy disk drives. The high speed of CD ROM drives mean that it is very practical to use CD ROM instead of storing the files on your hard disk thus freeing up valuable hard disk space.
