My two cents worth - yes you should get a dvd+/- burner that can handle cdrw and dvdrw.  I also recommend an external hard drive as well, if you want to store images on disk.  If the operating system crashes, you have lost access to all the data.  If the data is stored separately and backed up periodically, you are in a much better position.  You can reload the operating system/applications without fear of losing data.  You can have a pc customized to have a removable cartridge with disk for both the operating system and the data disk.  I did this with mine. Was I ever happy I did this when one of the op systems died, I just pulled out the case, put in the alternate, and was back up in 2 minutes.
