Why is This Man Holding a Computer Disc?

I don't know, that seems to be a somewhat more reliable media, although the storage capacity of a CD-ROM has become inadequate...but DVD-Rs are still a good option and now there are dual-layer DVDs with over 8 GB of space on them. They could hang around a bit longer than floppies did. They're still good for archival purposes as long as you use good quality discs that won't break down over 10-20 years like the cheap ones can.

Wow.
