@PabloMartini @mttaggart yea some of my earliest ones - not even that early in the scheme of CDs - have rotted.

Yet audio tapes still play, c64 tapes still load fine.

Seems like a standard tech con!

@mttaggart had to go look that up! It's true none of my cd-rw's from the late 90s read anymore.

@mttaggart found 3 spindles of dvd-r's the other day, I'm gonna get archiving
