Indeed, I've heard this as well. However, I had a bunch of CDRs that had
archived stuff from 1997 up till 2003. In 2003 I bought a DVD recorder,
and transferred all the CDRs to DVD. I remember only 2 discs having
problems, and one was rather scratched up. But then again, I had 2
copies of each back up, so all was well. About 1/3 the number of discs
putting them on DVD. I imagine in a couple more years I'll be buying
whatever the next thing is and doing the process all over again.......

I very much agree, and it looks like PDF will be one of the longer

However, if you really want to save them, don't rely on CD-Rs, or
DVD-Rs for that matter. I just heard a feature in the radio where they
had someone who seemed to know something about it, and he said CD-Rs
are unlikely to last more than 10 years without errors, and he would
recommend to re-copy them every 2 to 3 years.
Kind of worrying!
