On DNA. Which apparently can last for 1000's of years! "Forget
hard disks or DVDs. If you want to store vast amounts of
information look instead to DNA, the molecule of which genes are
made. Scientists in the UK have stored about a megabyte's worth
of text, images and speech into a speck of DNA and then
retrieved that data back almost faultlessly. They say that a
larger-scale version of the technology could provide an
extremely dense and long-lived form of digital storage that is
particularly well suited to data archiving" "Half a Million DVDs
in Your DNA" At the storage density achieved, a single gram of
DNA would hold 2.2 million gigabits of information, or about
what you can store in 468,000 DVDs Edited by seeder, 23 January
