Lipo, Ok thanks for the post. I've heard this before, but it still is unproven as a quote from the article you posted says: "Few experts agree with him completely, but many concede that CDs are not foolproof." I would definately agree with that. I've lost a few cd's to scratches already. rll P.S. BTW, thanks for taking the time to post your experiences with clik! It was very informative.

I always chuckle when I hear people qoute media life of 100 years or even 10 years. Just try and piece together the system that will have the right OS, the right application and the right hardware to read your disk. If you really are archiving data it needs to be in an environment where you roll the data to new media or format as required. Do you think that Word '11 will be backwards compatible to Word 97??
