Hi, internets!

I hope you had a fine weekend. We sure did, thanks for asking.

Anyway, I have a conundrum, and for some reason I haven’t figured it out yet, so I figured I’d ask just in case one of y’all have already figured it out.

I have an old computer at my house; “old” meaning “six or seven years old.” Yes, it has a color screen and runs on electricity. Other than that, not much in common with these newfangled things you kids use nowadays.

Anyway, said computer has information on it that I don’t really want to lose, but that I don’t access very often. So I’d like to backup the computer and remove it from my sight.

The thing has a CD burner, and here’s my question: What is a good program to a) create a backup and 2) burn the backup on CDs? It would be awesome if it would store it in a way that I could read the CD on another (less ancient) computer and cherry pick files I may need, but that isn’t a deal breaker.

Any thoughts?
