> Digital does NOT last forever....I remember reading an article last year about some companies who were early adopters in the digital realm, CD's, etc....and they have found that some data is gone or is being corrupted, something to do with the protective film on the CD's (if I am remembering correctly) The point is that at some point all data digital or otherwise will fail...nothing last's forever....at least not yet....
