Hi John,

I think you should lay the strips, maybe cut into 4's, out on a CD 
(or stack them onto a DVD since it can hold more) and burn them onto 
the disc. If you don't have access to a laser, use a small butane 
torch like those for home plumbing jobs - I can find no difference in 
the resulting quality, and they will stay burned for a _very_ long 
time. Pretty much archival.
