Peter, I am glad this Rosetta disk showed up. I remembered seeing this technology many years ago at an ARMA conference and then lost track of the company name. I was glad t see it again. Interesting technology.

Very Long-Term Backup
Paper, it turns out, is a very reliable backup medium for information. While it can burn or dissolve in water, good acid-free versions of paper are otherwise stable over the long term, cheap to warehouse, and oblivious to technological change because its pages are "eye-scanable." No special devices needed. Well-made, well-cared for paper can last 1,000 years easily, and probably reach 2,000 without much extra trouble.
