life expectancy of CD

[snowmonkey]

How many of you out there saved your important information on CD and think it will last you for a very long time......well I'm one of those people too.....I thought my saved pictures on the Cd will be around for my life time...but I guess not

I always preferred vinyl for music anyway. Vinyl records will last forever.

Not much use for recording though.

Yeah I kind of knew that , This is why I use an external drive and disks , Use both and you are pretty safe , What is the odds if both do fail at the same time ? Let say that the disc happen to not work any longer ? Just re copy the same items off your external drive back onto a new disc , samething if its the other way around , your external drive die on you , just re copy back from a disc onto a new drive , You are pretty much safe this way , I think

To be honest I keep personal stuff onto 3 different hard drives

Hey dudez, can you dudez help me find a game exactly like runescape? I like syrnia, but i wish you could controll your guy. I do not like adventure quest and dragonfable very much. Here is a list of what i would like.


-No donloadable games
-Games where you can talk to real people(like runescape)
-And no games that are like cartoonish like adventure quest.


Thanx dudez!

Well Maplestory you can talk to people and move and fight and pick up items etc. but it is downloadable, but you should play it. It is sort of cartoonish but not like adventure quest, Maplestory has it's own unique style, it's like having your own little avatar thing.
