    Perhaps you thought that since music CDs are mechanically stamped and sealed in tough plastic, they'd last forever. Wrong! Some may already be dead. Here's why.

    What's a CD?

        I remember these, when I visited my granny's work - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DysanRemovableDiskPack.agr.jpg[^]

            Is that "news"? The information contained in it looks so old to me, like a quarter of a century. Or does it just provide the proof to a fact which almost everyone tried to ignore? Well, the good old vinyl records do last far longer.
