CDs, DVDs not so immortal.

The legend of so-called CD rot has come up again. I remember stories about this when CDs really caught on in the late 80s-early 90s. If I remember correctly, first generation discs were not of the same quality as ones produced later on. The article also suggests that how one treats the CD has an impact on its life (duh). It also points out that the label side is more sensitive to damage than the underside.
