Here's a question... in a 1000 years.. will you even have a drive that could read such a disk?
You'd need to store details manuals with how to construct a drive and the format of the disks.

I see you can still buy the media and the drives to _write_ as of
recently.  Has anyone actually used these?

I did find this interesting site:

And I currently have an external 2Tb USB harddrive in my safe deposit
box with family photos and such.  I should really buy a new one and do
a swap so I have another sitting around.
