ARCHIVAL CDs - 300 YEARS LIFE!

Well, the CD versus negative storage longevity arguments are now put to
rest. Kodak have announced their new Gold Preservation CDs and DVDs.

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.

Of course, they know, because they've had some actually last that
long...

And of course, in the year 2306, there will be CD drives to read these
discs!

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

Takes a bit more than a laser...
I just pointed my laser at a disc and it just reflected back to blind me...
No picture...Nothin'!

What if I loose my original receipt? Will the warranty still be good?

Bill

You're not thinking ahead. Scan your original receipt and write it to
the CD.

Can they also guarantee that electricity will be available in 300
years time?

I'd like a guarantee we're going to make it to the 2008 elections.

More likely the CDs will make it 300 years
