Warning: those irreplaceable CDs won't last forever
Mike Himowitz
March 30, 2006
A physicist working for International Business Machines Corp. has spread fear and
loathing among digital photographers, music fans and others who store data on CDs.
His message: The disks we're using to archive photos, album tracks and financial
records may turn into useless lumps of plastic after two to five years.
A January Computerworld article quoted Kurt Gerecke, a storage expert in Germany,
who warned that the dye that forms tiny pits in the surface of a CD-R can degrade
to the point where the laser in a CD-ROM drive can't read them.
