An article I read recently in a photographic magazine here in Germany compared storage media. They actually included stone and clay tablets (thousands of years), which came way before paper for longevity :-) Unfortunately, they fell way down the list on storage capacity. Some bright spark will probably soon come up with indestructible storage in a synthetic diamond matrix (if there is any such thing. If not, I thought of it first ;-) ) or something equally out of science fiction (as were silicon chips 50 years ago). Cheers Douglas Robert D.
