Well most of the concerns with optical media longevity are solved by M-Discs since they don't have the degrading dye layer, so whether you believe those concerns are rational or not you've already chosen the solution to them. At least provided you don't use the discs enough that they accumulate scratches like most of the world's DVD-video discs do. > Of course, one must always be mindful of future technology. > The strategy is to always copy important data to improved > formats but, so far, with optical media, this is not necessary > yet. If you just wanted to store a little data for distant future generations, information etched into glass should last longer than info on plastic M-Discs. You could use a program like Optar to convert into a printable data representation and then use a glass etching kit or laser to 'burn' that to a paper-sized pane of glass. http://ronja.twibright.com/optar/ Of course most likely nobody will ever go to the trouble of reading it if you do that, but maybe an idea for a novelty glass mug or something. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
