All, Some years back when CDs were first coming out, I did a test to compare various types and I found the gold CDs would last longest when exposed to direct sunlight on my roof. They were also exposed to rain and other elements of weather. Recently I was having some film developed at Holland photo and I noticed that they were offering gold CDs which were guaranteed for 300 years data storage. If I remenber they were about $36 for a 25 pack. Not too expensive for occasional use for archive purposes. I hope to try some some day. --Keith
