For all of us concerned with the longevity of optical disks and the
effects of dust, fingerprints, labels, etc. on them, download an
excellent pdf file written on the subject.

Scientists working on the Digital Preservation Program at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have released an
excellent 50 page guide ( http://tinyurl.com/2x43f ) on care and
handling of CDs and DVDs for long term storage.

It's 50 pages long, but your will find more information in it than
anything you have thought of concerning optical medium.

Maybe this file will put an end to so many myths concerning aging DVD,
CD, etc...

Please can some one post a Active URL on this..
