Also, flash drives are *not* to be considered viable long term storage. Archival is best done to high quality optical at this time - but you’d best save a compatible optical drive.

Right, except the N22 and in fact most current laptops don’t even have optical drives, tho’ I suppose I could go with an external optical drive.

I’m getting old enough that in 10-15 years I’m prolly not gonna care...

Has DVD degradation with time improved in the last 10 years? I’ve not really followed that... Granted it has not been a big issue — I think — maybe I should be checking all my old CDs?
