The word "problem" should be replaced with "feature".

2. Long-life - most of my floppies from the '80s and '90s are still readable. Can't say the same for hard drives, and certainly not so for CDs/DVDs a few years old. IME a floppy is much likely to be readable in any floppy drive than a CD/DVD in a random CD/DVD drive, too.
I still have a CD of Dark Forces for DOS that still runs. I also have a CD-R that was burned in around 2000 and is still readable as well. I have other CD's that are from the mid to late 90's that work quite well still but I think Dark Forces is my oldest.
