Do any of you use gold or platinum CD-R or -RW CDs for long term storage of
digital images? If yes, I would appreciate your comments about brands and
sources.

I have been using inexpensive CD-R (Memorex, TDK, or Fujifilm) - are they
just plastic? - but want to store files of some scanned slides on a more
archival medium.

Thanks! JT

I'm told that the only CDs that will last are the ones made with gold.
Kodak has stopped selling this kind of CD, but Mitsui is still making them.
You can order them through this web site--www.inkjetart.com/mitsui The
Mitsui CD's can also be purchased from Diversified Sysems Group if you buy
100--telephone 1-800-255-3142. Grace Taylor
