ARCHIVAL CDs - 300 YEARS LIFE!
Well, the CD versus negative storage longevity arguments are now put to

Using pure gold reflective layers, phthalocyanine dye, and triple-layer protection, they say the useful life of a CD is 300 years, and the DVDs 80 - 100 years.

We dispense with technology now to make things cheaper, faster, etc. But, all they need to read a CD is a laser. |
