	Shouldn't be a question of the quality of the picture; that's 
driven more by the format used (*.bmp, *.gif, *.tif, etc.).  CD's are a 
more reliable media to store pictures on.  Disks are magnetic media 
based and subject to damage more so than a CD.  Also, graphical files 
typically are HUGE in size.  CD's allow for a considerable amount of 
space (up to 650 meg or so).  The new DVD format will allow even more 
storage but no average user will afford one of those for a while till 
the technology gets more common and cheaper.
	Back to the quality issue, most of the pictures you see on the 
web are in *.gif format if that is any indicator.  This format is a 
little more efficent in storing the graphic itself.  Check with your 
local photographer/computer guru to get truly experienced opinion.
