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.
