[Leica] Archival Storage DVDs

[Jim at hemenway.com (Jim Hemenway)]

Chuck:

Light Impressions, who I trust for archival products, has Gold DVDs but 
I don't know if they're made by Mutsui.

I do my backups to external hard drives rather than to DVDs and use CDs, 
(Kodak Gold) for sending photos by mail, etc.

I have a lot of gold blanks so haven't moved up to DVDs yet.
