My impression was that Haywood Pyle was looking for a long-term storage
solution which was platform-independent.
I also vote in favor of CDR, so long as two copies are made of the data
(the media can eventually fail). I would also suggest that disks be written
as pure ISO9660 format so that the discs can be read in any platform
supporting a CDROM (you never know who's writing what analysis software for
what platform).
I know that someone's going to suggest CD-RW but keep in mind that apart
from the CD-RW drive itself, only *one* CDROM manufacturer/model can read
this media. More will follow, but it will mean retrofitting existing machines.

Our flow facility has no long-term storage capability but I've been
archiving personal data via Adaptec's Easy CD Pro. I would suspect that
most PC-based labs use either this package, Adaptec's CD Creator, Gear
(like yours) or WinOnCD. Mac labs would likely have Adaptec's (formerly
Astarte's) Toast.
