real physical protection on their backs. The substrate that stores the data
is held in place by a relatively thin and fragile layer of resin. I always put
a label on any data CD I'm going to be handling a lot. (I've also managed to rip
the resin right off a CD trying to reposition a label that was partially adhered
to a CD (luckily I hadn't deleted the data from my hard drive). When handled with
enough care CD's can maintain data for a very long time but I've found they need to
be given care somewhere between the way you'd handle an Vinyl LP and a book you wished
to keep in good condition.

Thanks for all the replies gents, dosn't seem to be (we'll exclude Dan from this one) a major problem. I however have just managed to get a CD stuck to my desktop, on the printed side. So when I lifted it up I got the CD back the the silver layer is still firmly attached to my desk. I don't label most of my CD's so I don't even know whats on it. I can't read whats left so I know which CD to make a copy of. This is really begining to piss me off. Need a better storage system.Feroze
