RE: DVD-RAM archival

My first Disney DVD never made it out of the case. I broke it trying to
remove it from the center post clip.

As new media is introduced such as blue ray, the old media becomes
harder to find and drives that read it tend to disappear.


Good point, Chris. A DVD may "last" 30 years, but may be "obsolete"
long before that. And even if the media lasts 30 years, it would
probably be safer to duplicate it after 5, for example.

Of course, our Disney Cars DVD only lasted about 5 minutes in the hands
of our 2 year old grandson ;-)
