Thanks. I didn't realize the CD-Recordable medium uses dye as the recording
material. Sunlight is certainly bad for dyes. Since it is organic, have any
tests been done on suceptability to damage by organic vapors? I'm thinking of
our off-site storage boxes that are lined with foam rubber. Will the
outgassing of the foam hurt the disks (maybe over a period of many years)?
