CDR's degrade sooner than we thought?
It's in a news blurb on the www.tomshardware.com site (which leads to the Register, AFAIR). Depending on the quality of the dye set used in the CDR construction, degradation could happen as early as 2 years of storage in a dark, cool place. Does this worry anyone?

Also, anyone ever notice if their Norton Disk Doctor seems to freak out when scanning a CDR, citing major problems in the directory structure even though the CDR is perfectly functional? What's that all about?! Maybe this is in older versions, but I was just wondering if anyone ever observed this. So if you want to check your CDR's using NDD, it's going to freak out whether there is a serious problem or nothing at all. So how do you verify old CDR's?
