How long should a CD be replied upon?
Pressed, or CD-R? A pressed CD will likely be readable as long as the
drive still works, would be my guess - especially if the CD is kept in
the dark and in an inert atmosphere. A CD-R is quite a different
story; I wouldn't count on them nearly as long.
How long, that's another question. A decade, maybe?
