Keep in mind that cds and dvds also do not last forever. Experts recommend reburning your data at least every 5 yrs, more often if you're using the cheaper discs. I can't imagine trying to fit all of my stuff on disc. let alone the time it takes to burn it. Even my pictures alone would take dozens of dvds.
