    Remember me Nero Express, good memories, awesome name for a CD burner.

    My brother recently found 15 year old CDs with family photos and they still work.

    It’s funny how video game media often degrades quickly due to use, but well-packaged and lightly used discs can last for many years. Maybe still a great solution for data that doesn’t need to be accessed constantly.

        It’s why I’ve gone through all of my old media and transferred them to my media PC. But I have to admit it’s more satisfying when it’s in the form of physical media, when it’s all computer files I hardly ever look at them.

          That’s me. ADD and 678 folders of digital media is not fun. I need physical. Plus, it’s actually real then.

      As a kid I always thought that Nero is a stupid name for a program because in Finnish nero means genius. To be honest I still think that it’s a stupid name.
