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.'
