Hello Again All,

Pretty interesting info here.

I was browsing around a digital camera website when I found the following link.

http://media.fastclick.net/w/get.media?sid=9388&m=5&url=http%3A//news.independent.co.uk/world/science_technology/story.jsp%3Fstory%3D513486

It tells how CD-Rs and even DVD+/-Rs lose data after just a couple of years.

A lot of CD-R and DVD+/-R companies boast lifetimes of 100 years, but this researcher disagrees.

Anyone got a thought about this?

Hope this helps,

Steve
