At 700MB/cd, it'd be about 12 reams per CD,
not 92. 92 reams would get
you about 5.4GB, which is more than a (single-sided, single layer)
DVD-R holds.
My math:
472,500 bits per page
945,000 bits per double-sided page
118,125 bytes per double-sided page
681,574,400 bytes per 650 M CD
5,452,595,200 bits per CD
46,160 pages
92 reams
59,062,500 bytes per ream
