    I probably won't be around to see, but I wonder
        what my forty year old digital photos on CD/DVD will be
        like.........

      Last week I found an exposed roll of Plus X I
        shot in 1976 and left in a old Kodak film can.  It wasn't worth
        the effort for me to process it, so I took it over to my
        favorite independently owned camera store and had them process
        it.  I picked it up this afternoon and was shocked to see that:
        it wasn't fogged; it had thin but clear images that I shot with
        a Olympus Pen F at the J. M. Davis Gun Museum in Claremore, OK. 
        I have no explanation why the film survived so well.  It had
        been in temperatures as high as 120F.
