Heh, check your grandfathers old papers - brown, bleached, ink disappeared or soaked into the next page. Maybe laser-printed will last for long enough, dunno.
Well, I have books printed around 1850 in very good state. Hand written papers is different: those I have were written in some ink that with age turns light brown, and so does the paper. Poor contrast, and difficult hand written er... shapes? letter calligraphy?
Realistically though, shuffling to another hard disk is enough for me.
I think I read about a memory crystal somewhere. Perhaps an article in the OT list.
Yes, there is stuff like that coming out, there is also "long-life" CDs and DVDs, although the latter have not been sufficiently tested either.
Will be good news, be able to preserve digital content for more than a few years. Write and forget. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
