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.
