There's a piece on ZDNet about this new type of DVD that is purported to last for 1000 years. It uses a new technology that uses an inorganic mineral layer to store the data, and it actually burns a hole in the layer, so it won't change over time. The company is called MDisc. Not all current burners support it, but according to the story, current burners from LG do support it. The cost is about three dollars a disc. There does remain the problem of the MTBF on DVD players, but I'm sure somebody will solve that. Blu-Ray equivalents are promised for this summer. -- Arthur Cell: 647.710.1314 Prediction is difficult, especially of the future. -- Niels Bohr
