Really interesting, Rich. Although I have been burning audio CDs
since the mid 80s and 20 years later, they seem to be playing without
noticable error. The article is certainly a heads up about the
necessity of backing up data in a number of formats if it's important
stuff. With new terabyte HD systems, that may help to address the
issue.
