Hi ... I'm curious how many disks would it require to
copy just over 40,000 files ( 8.58 GB ) ??? If you were
to burn this many files , How many disks would be
require ??? Any guess

What kind of disks?

o Floppy diskettes (1.44 MB) -- about 600,000

o CDs (700 MB) -- about 12,000

o DVDs (5.68 GB? -- I forget the exact capacity) -- about two

o Modern hard disk drive with at least 10 GB free space -- one

You thus have a choice of from one to 600,000, depending on the medium.
