funny how my old Vic20 and C64 datasette tapes and 5.25" floppies still work great after 29 years but CD's I made 9 years ago are 85% bad:pissed:

personally I don't trust any of the flash memory technology for long term storage. I sometimes get scared thinking that all my kids photos since birth are on digital media which will eventually go bad while my parents have cherished family photos from over 100 years ago still in decent shape:idea:

Funny how my 8 year old CDs are all 100%. Perhaps it has something to do with me keeping them in a completely dark environment.

well you might be lucky and reach the 10 year mark but I'd be making quite a few backups if the info on those CD's are important to you
