You are correct, and I just bought my third "Travel Drive" which is
under a couple of names, and they are great. I used them only to be
sure I didn't lose my work if my computer crashed. CD-RWs are
quirky.Putting finished manuscripts on CDRs is a good idea - except I
always find typos or something that needs revising. thanks for your
valuable suggestions. I am going to have to change the way I work. Deloris

Instead of CD-R there are other writable media. I would not recommend
CD-RW either, for the reason given for floppy disks.
I would recommend one or two flash-drives, also called flash-sticks,
USB-sticks, and memory sticks. They are read-writable and many now come
with a lifetime warranty. Save the CD-Rs for backups of finished works,
which you should also print out.
