Subject: [ROOTS-L] CD

In the March edition of the AARP Bulletin, page 32 it states that CR-R and 
CD-RW have a life of only 2 to 5 years!!! I have a lot of important data stored 
on these disk, am I in danger of losing it??

How should I store it? Hard drives are not a good place to store material as 
I have had them go bad in the past and lost what was stored on them.
