Nice to read and see.
But if that disks survives 100 years,
does the drives to read them still exists?
You know electronics does not stay forever working,
especially not the capacitors in it, they dry out.

I once hope to see an affordable storage system that has a long stay
independend of a large temperature shift, dust and humidity etc.
At the moment backing up to several harddisks every 10 years at different
places is also a reliable way, of course never 100%,
but at least it comes nearby that figure.
W'll see what technics are coming.

Greetings from Henri.
