But even that's not infallable, I fear over the next decade many, many families will see their digital family photos corrupted over time thinking that once it's backed up onto a disc it's there forever. It's not.

Oh, by the way, Beta was a superior quality to VHS but due to the case dimensions it had a shorter play-time, so Sony halved the speed to resolve this but the quality decreased accordingly and equalled VHS until VHS HQ came along.
