Yes -- been there, seen that. Much of the top grade
media *should be* fine for quite some time, but I have
a few distribution CDs made 3 or 4 years ago that have
become unreadable. There hass been a lot of very
cheap, bad media in use, and I think there may be some
chemical breakdown over time, or something of that
nature.
