I need to buy some CDs and > would like to buy them. TDK CD-R74P is guaranteed to last 100 years. I'm not sure (a) how they tested that, or (b) how they will make good on the guarantee. The MitsuiQ-MIT-CD70 CD-R offers a 200-year guarantee; see <http://www.inkjetart.com/mitsui/> AABC Canada has this to say about media lifetime: <http://aabc.bc.ca/aabc/newsletter/11_3/bc_archival_preservation_service.htm> Here's a good essay about media longevity: <http://www.deadmedia.org/notes/18/188.html> I've used Kodak Gold CD-R's for archival storage, but, as the Mitsui website gleefully points out, Kodak stopped making them last year. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
