Digital BW, The Print

Val,

Where does one buy such cd's? Mitsui also makes a gold cd that is rated at 
around 200 yrs. The Verbatim Data Plus  is what I use now. It has a special 
dye layer that allows a guarantee of 100yrs and is a fraction of the cost of 
these gold cds. I burn special things with the gold cds as a backup and never 
use them. Cd's also wear out the more you use them. Of course we won't be 
around to have these cd's replaced. And in 100 years this technology will look 
like the very ancient stone age. My plan is to copy over my cd's every 100 
years or so. I hope my burner holds out.
