Djon,

Do you or anyone else know the potential life of images stored on CF or 
similar cards? These are getting so big so quickly, that I could imagine 
them being storage devices in a few years - if the info is reasonably 
permanent on them.

IMO the most promising device is Sony's Mini Disc, which is far more
powerful than it was five years ago. It's said to be more archival
than any CD.
