Yes, of course, for occasional large amounts of data, CD is a good way to go. ISO 9660 I use, not hybrid since the Mac and PC can read this. I find zips and floppies (latter, not so much) so much easier to use for data under 95MB, there is something a bit wasteful and cumbersome about burning for temporary things...and burning is not more reliable in terms of results.
