Has anybody used these? A 1,000-year DVD/Blu-Ray sounds good. I would use it if it is actually reliable. (Actually just want decades, but centuries is better.)

Non LTH BD-R has an estimated lifetime of 50 years if stored properly. 40 cents a disk. In a cd case, in your closet.

M-Disk 1000 years, same storage idea. $5 a disc.
