Yet another instance in which money can buy love, and trouble.

I couldn't decide how to use your post because I wasn't certain if it was a DVD or a CD, snark, snark.

With the DVD industry telling me that highest quality DVD+Rs kept under perfect conditions have an archival life of only 30-100 years (and my cars never get close to the reported MPG), I can't imagine that future generations will worry much about them.

Although they still may be looking at Kodachrome I shot in the 1970s.

[Scoutmaster]

Wait. If the same report tells me the unrecorded shelf life is 5-10 years, how is the archival life of a recorded copy supposed to be 30-100 years?

[Monkey Face]

What beautiful words! While reading them, the images of loved ones passed silently, smilingly, through my heart and mind, reminding me that I do, truly, carry them all with me.

Thanks Bob, for the gentle reminder.

*hug*

What? You’re home? So soon? YAY!!!!

How was your visit?

[ThomasThomas]

Just recopy to the new thingy every 20 years. Even if the copies were good would you have a DVD 100 years from now?

[Darksheare]

Typos suddenly explode horrifcally due to my presence?

The real Darks would have offered us all coffee...

[Scoutmaster]

Even if the copies were good would you have a DVD 100 years from now?

Yes.

But I'd also have the five forms of storage media that were created during that 100 years. There's an Edison Home Phonograph with a cygnet horn not 20' from the comfy chair, with the two- and four-minute option and a nice collection of cylinders.

I can also hit my right elbow on a Victrola 'humpback' right now if I try hard enough, and I can see a Model XVI-L in the dining room. My DVD player won't play those cylinders and 78 RPMs.

[Darksheare]

I haven’t had coffee yet today, I’mstill in brain bootup.

Besides which, the coffee is over there at he approved kiosk behind our intrepid Imperial Weatherman.

[null and void]

Ah. One could not have unapproved coffee. That would be bad.

[Darksheare]

I don’t think my coffee is approved except for testing purposes.
Probably preferably in the labs on test subjects that are behind blast shielding.

Happy-Dance, Happy-Dance!

Doin’ the Darksheare Happy Dance!

Welcome home!

Typsos only occur with me when you LURK!!!!

And trust me: I KNOW when that happens! LOL!

[Darksheare]

What bugged me the most was that I didn’t get the chance to talk to TC while down there.
Going on pass was a huge fiasco.
They wanted paperwork filled out on the vehicle you were driving, even if you weren’t going to be driving.
SOOOooooooo... it didn’t happen.
And it ended up that I didn’t go anywhere.

[Monkey Face]

:o([

Wottapissoir.

So where do you go from here? Any ideas? Or will you have to kill me if you tell me?

[Darksheare]

From here, more training, more paperwork.
And.. better opportunities if I can navigate the snares and pitfalls of the learning.

And not typo’ing myself to def.
