Using no less than 24K gold, Delkin Devices have created the eFilm Archival Gold "300-Year" CD-R. As opposed to standard CD-Rs that can go bad within a few years due to environmental elements like humidity and ultraviolet light, the gold disks are rated to last more than 300 years (since they haven't quite had 300 years to test this out, they're basing their claims on an "accelerated aging process" test). Of course, if the discs only end up lasting 200 years, you probably won't be around to find that out, but whatever.
