With all due respect, do you expect to be here in 75 years?  I doubt
that Mitsui or the CD-R (as a product) will be here.  I do not take
these extrapolations seriously.  It would be nice to know, what a
reasonable life expectancy of a CD-R is.

In 10 years, there's a good chance we will not be using CD-R's, but a
more dense format.  At that time I will copy my important data to the
new format, whatever it is.

To me the important question is, will the present format last long
enough to overlap the next.

Rich
