I still have a magneto optical drive and disks I bought back in mid 90's. Still works great. Supposed to last forever. The air force used these on the jets to record photos. Thought these would have been the latest and greatest for permanent retrievable storage. It's the 3.5 inch Fujitsu. I don't think any media is indestructible.

What kills the technology for me is the size of the disc. If the disc would have the same features but with 25 GB blu-ray storage, I would be amazed and I would totally go for it. For the size of a DVD? No... not worth it.

I remember when CDROM came out. 640 MB of data on one disc when the average HD was about 100 MB. And this was read-only and they were blabbing about how "it's more data then you can ever possibly use" or some twaddle.
Like nuclear power and "electricity too cheap to meter" .. the twaddle never ends.. just fill in the blanks.
