I see that my 5 year old CDs are good for between 0 and 95 more years.
I guess I'll know more tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after
that, etc.  :-) 

How and the world can they determine that the lifespan of a CD is
between 5 - 100 years.  I think I would have more confidence in them if
they just said "We don't really know".

&gt; &gt; On the same note, but not wanting to hijack James' post, if you also
&gt; &gt; have similar info on CD life (esp. 5+ yearold CDs) I would appreciate
&gt; &gt; seeing that also.

&gt; &gt; &gt; Any clue as to the anticipated lifetime of a burned DVD? Not a
&gt; &gt; &gt; commercial purchased, stamped variety (those should last a fairly long
&gt; &gt; &gt; while).

&gt; &gt; &gt; I have had a recent rash of failed DVD's all from the same batch. They
&gt; &gt; &gt; _used_ to work but now I get errors.
