Oldest CD-R (Score 2, Interesting)

My oldest CD-R is from 7 Oct 1996. I just copied its entire contents to my hard drive without encountering any errors, so it *appears* to be entirely readable. The CD-R is a Verbatim "DataLifePlus" CD-R, and it is dark blue. The contents were burnt at 1x speed. The contents are only 250 Mbytes, so it is not close to full.
