Hi A'goners. I checked out the article from Jeffcott's post. Has anyone out
there have had old CD's (15-20yrs) go bad? Similar to laser rot that
did occur.

A friend sent me a link to that article this morning.

I wish my clients were still interested in film for their projects, but unfortunately its all gone to 100% digital.
Interesting article which begs this question: What will happen when traditional projectors stop being manufactured? Won't tradiditional film-based movies suffer the same hardware upgrade retrieval loss as digital? I should think that not only digital but traditional films need to be archived in a universally agreed-upon format.
