Anyone suggesting to bury anything containing commercial grade chips had better read up on the propensity the doped silicon has to diffuse back into amorphous silicon. A lot of those chips end up as generic lumps of Si in that time frame.

We're living in the digital dark-ages, in a few decades there's likely to be an enormous _gap_ in records between the 1990s and 2000s as it was all stored on crap media and not transferred to longer lasting systems.
