Re: Digital Storage (NNG)

I agree about DVDs. I should have stated their shelf life as well. I only mentioned them because I can get over 4 gig per disc. That's why I do a full archive to keep the latest, fresh copy whole. I shudder when a CD manufacturer says their media can last 50 to 100 years, because we won't know until 50 years have passed. We DO know about film and prints. Now, I'm not going to print out 1,000 pictures of my son eating his first birthday cake, but there are some prints in an acid-free scrapbook. I think printing photos is a valid archival medium. That's what I have of my childhood, and those before me.
