Hi Tom

Try storing your non Kodak Gold CD's at that tempurature and humity :-)

Read their guarentee, also note that these statements have been
under scruteny, and the upshot is that companys that have been
marketing in this way are guilty of applying the "wont be here,
so dont care" rule. The industry grants that Kodaks premium
materials should give an acceptable lifetime of "about" 100 years
with good storage. Also not that fungus damage doesnt occur
with these testing methods, so what other damage can also
occur with time ?
But in saying that, Kodaks does produce some of the best quality
media on the market.

This is true especially as the bit has firmer plastic around the punch
area, allowing for less chance that the surrounding plastic will flatten
out the recorded bit.
