I saw this article on CNN.com today
http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/ptech/05/06/disc.rot.ap/index.html. I
remembered discussions I had a decade ago when I worked in libraries
about how long we could expect CD media to survive if we used it to
archive data. This article gives more definite information than what I
was aware of at that time.

Thought I'd share...
