There needs to be an 'all of the above' option, since I've done some of each over the years.

With my recent purchase of a DVD burner, I think I'll be doing more burning here on out.

The poll is meaningless, because it assumes that all data is equal.

Equally worthless, that is.

Well if you were looking for data to cure cancer or strengthen your economic portfolio, unless you're selling hard disks you're in the wrong thread.
