This may well be true, only time will tell, but technology will long surpass the storage media. Can you really imagine folks using dvd in 100-200 years? My iMac has not floppy disk, yet some folks have files stored on these disks. The process of keeping up to date media is a long and laborious one. Film however, if stored in optimal conditions will give you this life expectancy but does however, suffer from the single copy only. regardles of where how it is stored, somebody mentioned a vault in the WTC before they fell down, and the film was lost. No system will be foolproof, there will always be disasters for photographers and pixographers. Kind regards Kevin -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
