Message-ID: Sender: usenet@rci.ripco.com (Net News Admin) Organization: Ripco Internet BBS Chicago X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Thu, 10 Mar 1994 07:36:18 GMT Lines: 10 Does anyone have any info on the theoretical length of time a CD-ROM can be depended upon to retain error-free data? I'm interested in its viability as a long-term archiving medium. And when I say long-term, I mean LONG-term. Any info or pointers to any studies greatly appreciated. -- Rob Warmowski DBA GoMedia Multimedia Marketing & Production Phone / Fax +1 312 808 1675 Internet: gomedia@rci.ripco.com Semper Ube Subube!
