Or punched cards, they'd retain data pretty well over time. :crazy:
Seriously though, I've had a really good run with the more expensive Kodak CDRs, in particular the Gold Plus and Ultima Silver+Gold discs.
They talk of data retention for up to 100 years, which is possibly true in *perfect* conditions, though I've had none of mine fail in 7 years.
The cheap CDRs can be pretty crap though. Had problems with them too.
BTW, I have a new Seagate SCSI internal DDS tape drive if anyone's interested. I understand there are Amiga progs to support them.
