Any connections with Dr. Who notwithstanding, this article is probably a bit more accurate in regards to CD-R longevity: http://www.warehousephoto.com/How_Perma ... r_CD-R.htm

By no stretch of the imagination are CD-Rs permanent. The best way to archive digital is analog and the second best way is lots of copies on several different media.
