I too am surprised at the statement. But I have many cd's with me which
are about 3 years old. I still use them to retrieve my old data sets.
Found no problem whatsoever till date. BTW, the files on the cd are
either tar.gz or zipped. Neither of the programs have complained while
unpacking nor could I see anything wrong with the files extracted.
Maybe the poster can give some more information.
