I believed Raymond Baxter on TW when he said CD would be indestructable.
This physical media thing is a real and serious problem. We need to preserve mdeia for the future, but on what format? The ability to access some of the stuff we have produced may be lost to future generations. With paper its fine, but when it was only ever produced digitally in a certain format? I mean how many 8 inch Floppy drives do you see now?
