I just looked around and found an archive of images from 1997.  This was
written on a Kodak gold CD-R which were touted to be good for 100 years back
then.  Everything I looked at checked out fine.

As an aside, here is a computer graphics trivia challenge.  Who can identify
the two images copied from this CD to http://www.embedinc.com/temp/q1.tif
and http://www.embedinc.com/temp/q2.tif?  Those of you who had a somewhat
direct connection, like DT, should give others a chance to scratch their
heads for a while first.
