Re: [OM] CD ROMs and Archival Storage

[Gregg Iverson]

What is the difference in how CDs purchased in a store, CDRs, CDR/Ws and
DVDs are written?  I understand the part about DVD using a different
kind of laser using a smaller wave length so it takes up less space.  Is
the plastic different so that over time the molecules may flow?
