it has to be longer than that.  we're still using tapes we bought 10
years ago.

but there is some truth to that.  old 9 track tapes especially.  they
get damp and then they get sticky, and are hard to read.  i've heard
they don't last much beyond 5 years, though it will also depend on how
it's been stored.
