   I picked up a big stack of DVD +R discs a couple of years ago - I don't think   
   I've used one of them.... it's been ages since I burned a disc of any sort.   
      
   I used to back up videos, downloaded files, and more - but now, with a 512 GB   
   USB2 external disk, I don't bother with optical media. (Yes, I know hard disks   
   fail - but frankly, nothing I have is that precious.   
      
   I have a drawer or two filled with burnt DVDs... I should go through them and   
   see what - if anything - I actually want to keep.
