Everyone might well be interested in this, from today's MacInTouch"

"[Jon Pfaff] As part of a long term project, the Library of congress and
NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology - part of the US
Department of Commerce) have tested how well recordable optical disks made
with different manufacturing processes held up when exposed to light, high
temperatures and humidity levels. To date, they found that some media
performed better than others, and some disks can be expected to reliably
store data for decades.
 � For the complete current information, see the research paper "Stability
Comparison of Recordable Optical disks - A Study of Error Rates in Harsh
Conditions" [StabilityStudy.pdf] in NIST Journal of Research Sept/Oct 2004.'
