Given the recent introduction of read/write optical drives what is the preferred
method of long term archiving of large data sets?  Can one get expect good 
shelf life from 8mm tapes?  What are peoples experiences with permanent (or 
as close as possible) storage of large computer files?  

Thanks in advance for any replies.  I'll post a summary if there is enough
response.
