[Alwyn Parry]

thanks jo its an ibook g4 I have about 200 photographs which I want  
to retain safely on disc I my knowledge is so limited I don'nt even  
know which way up the disc goesor whether I should use
a cd/dvd .I have been trying to find a night school which I could  
attend which deals with Apple/mac anywhere in the Greater Wellington  
area but to no avail can your members help.I need to keep it simple  
as I'm far more inclined towards the arts than technology.Thanks for  
your prompt supply and look forward to hearing from you.King Kong
