15 years ago CDs were a relatively new technology. I remember getting one of
the first ARMA conference CDs and being unable to use it because my work
computer didn't have a drive.

and yes I would have said I don' t see CDs/DVDs as a long-term storage
solution, just as floppies weren't a long-term storage solution either.
Remember Single-sided, DS/DD, having to format them.

my attitude is to proceed with caution and to base my decision on
information at hand along with past experience with technology
