Huh? I'm talking about real discs, not web articles!???!
I know real people who have discovered that their CD-Rs have failed over time. I'd make multiple copies of that disc if I were you, and check them all regularly.

RE: paper rot? not necessarily!  gdstark13 | 12/18/06
ODF anyone??  Henaway | 12/15/06

i thought ascii had been replaced with utf 8  brokndodge@... | 12/15/06
I simply do not get this argument at all...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/15/06

Keeping old programs  Michael Kelly | 12/15/06
As usual you do not even see the big picture!  raycote | 12/15/06
That is real easy to solve  osreinstall | 12/15/06
Uhmmmmm.....  Cardinal_Bill | 12/15/06
Yeah no kiddin'  osreinstall | 12/15/06
That is a lot of a pointless work  deaf_e_kate | 12/17/06
Except for one thing.  osreinstall | 12/17/06
Just hope that the machine doesn't break.  Zogg | 12/18/06
I have 4 of them in parts wrapped in plastic.  osreinstall | 12/18/06
Wow, such diligence!  Zogg | 12/18/06
Smallest way to store them  osreinstall | 12/18/06
Good luck getting new drivers for MS-DOS  Zogg | 12/18/06
I think you are confused on the purpose of the goal.  osreinstall | 12/18/06
No, just looking at a broader picture.  Zogg | 12/19/06
Doesn't matter once the data is retrieved.  osreinstall | 12/19/06
Nobody *ever* suggested "one format forever" (except you, that is)  Zogg | 12/19/06
One standard is one format  osreinstall | 12/19/06
Don't be absurd, of course standards are allowed to change.  Zogg | 12/19/06
Not the vibes I got from OSS.  osreinstall | 12/19/06
Say...  Cardinal_Bill | 12/15/06
You don't say.  osreinstall | 12/15/06
Kaffiene will become Cross Platform next year  deaf_e_kate | 12/17/06
Maybe if Novell is involved.  osreinstall | 12/17/06
Novell will have nothing to do with Kaffiene  deaf_e_kate | 12/17/06
That is too bad.  osreinstall | 12/17/06
Huh? I'm talking about real discs, not web articles!???!  Zogg | 12/18/06
See below  osreinstall | 12/18/06
So your too dumb  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/17/06
One executable?  Zogg | 12/18/06
Thats ok....  deaf_e_kate | 12/17/06
Gee, let me think real hard...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/17/06
OK...  Cardinal_Bill | 12/17/06
and DLLs??  deaf_e_kate | 12/17/06
Careful now  deaf_e_kate | 12/17/06
Yep, needs rocket science to doubleclick setup.exe.  osreinstall | 12/17/06
Back to my question about...  Cardinal_Bill | 12/17/06
Ever hear about research.  osreinstall | 12/17/06
Have you tested that old CD-R recently?  Zogg | 12/18/06
Can't be too bad. They all work.  osreinstall | 12/18/06
Huh? I'm talking about real discs, not web articles!???!  Zogg | 12/18/06
So am I.  osreinstall | 12/18/06
CD-R isn't a very old technology  Zogg | 12/18/06
I was using it on a 2x scsi burner  osreinstall | 12/18/06
No, that's not it.  Zogg | 12/18/06
That sounds more like it  osreinstall | 12/18/06
Ridiculous! Of course standards are important!  Zogg | 12/19/06
Naw, standards change making this moot anyway.  osreinstall | 12/19/06
You do not understand what "standards" mean.  Zogg | 12/19/06
I don't think you do.  osreinstall | 12/19/06
Sigh, here we go...  Zogg | 12/19/06
Heh, you are the one inventing FUD.  osreinstall | 12/19/06
Your context was preserved.  Zogg | 12/20/06
No it wasn't.  osreinstall | 12/20/06
Executables are compiled for particular OSs and CPUs...  Zogg | 12/18/06
You really *don't* get it do you?  markdoc.geo | 12/19/06
paperless society--yeah, right!  wageearner | 12/15/06
The Magnificent .PDF  harrisharris | 12/16/06
The format my die  deaf_e_kate | 12/17/06
I think you may have hit it...  Cardinal_Bill | 12/17/06
The Windows machine...  Cardinal_Bill | 12/15/06
re: The Windows machine...  osreinstall | 12/16/06
so you have to have  deaf_e_kate | 12/17/06
Actually you have more than one version.  osreinstall | 12/17/06
