This discussion has led me to one conclusion that seems inescapable. 
Clearly it's important to refresh our media assets every few years to keep 
pace with technology. Perhaps the archival method with the greatest 
longevity and 'universality' today is a high quality archival print 
probably made on an Epson 2000P and stored under optimal conditions. In 
another generation or two the images will still be there but the software 
and old file formats won't be.
