I have a burned CD that is 7 years old. My friend was one of hte first
to buy a CD burner. I threw the disk in my drive the other day, and it
no longer would read. Don't let "optical" media fool you. What's scary
is, it will either read or it won't, and if it doesn't, you have ZERO
pictures!
Degradation of film, I can still pull an image off of it. I can always
scan film in, and have both physical and digital medias. But I cannot
have digital get put on film (actually, I can now, I know a local
company that will do it) but why would you go in reverse, as far as
quality and density??

Me too, but mebbe that 100 year CD will last longer than the dyes in
our film and paper. It's certainly easier to backup.
