Actually I’m pretty sure I still have them burned on a CD somewhere ;-)

Ooh, CDs, look at this fancy schmancy fucker here! Those optical disks are surely just a fad. Durable data storage is what people really want. Like the ZIP drive!

ZIP DRIVE!

100 megabytes of storage POWEEERR!

Absolutely the last backup solution you will ever ever need.

lol. My ex gf wanted to get a bunch of stuff off her old laptop but was concerned that it might be too much memory. I handed her a Zip drive that was 3 times larger than her laptop’s capacity.

But yes, CD’s do have nice staying power — if you can find something to play them...
