Pat,
Sorry, flash memory deteriorates far quicker than Cd and DVD storage.
It was only designed for short term storage. There is a real problem
with long-term storage of digital images. All the storage media
deteriorates. Archival quality media is supposed to last much longer,
but we will have to wait and see on that. There is also the problem of
whether the hardware or software to read the media will still be
around in x number of years. The only sure long term storage at the
moment is archival quality ink on archival paper. And then there is
the risk of fire.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

The comments on the deterioration of bird photos and records on CD and
DVD is depressing. What is the evidence of deterioration on flash memory
- is this a more promising medium?
