Wow. Impressive!
What would it take to solve the problem so that future generations could read our stuff. The historians trying to study us 1000 years from now will no doubt be clueless as to what to do with material stored on our computers (if our computers are working then, which is not likely). And of course, our CD's will be long dead.
