Funny,

Kodachrome's pretty stable...

A shame they discontinued it.

Yes, Doug, many CDs and DVDs have become 'unreadable' for a variety of reasons....and I have had more than one hard drive die, so having multiple storage solutions (including one 'off site') is a must! I can only imagine what it would be like for a photographer to lose their negatives(files)

Charlie,
I do much the same as you in regards to storing digital data. I was somewhat disheartened to hear recently that DVDs are not stable.

I print about 300-400 8"x10" per year on an Epson R2400 pigment inkjet printer. I file the prints in acid free sleeve protectors in very large 3 ring binders. Everything gets printed on Epson Ultra Premium Glossy for purposes of 'filing' these images. All my digital files are backed up on two additional hard drives plus DVD. (that's how much I trust those media)
A lot of the recent work, unfortunately is not Rollei- captured, I expect to start scanning a large number of my Rollei negatives next year.
I printed with wet chemistry off and on for 40 years. After a back injury made it impossible for me to be bending over trays I was fortunate enough find digital printing. As much as I loved results of 'wet' work, it's nice that I will be able to continue printing no matter what limitations age brings. I've gotten somewhat skilled in Photoshop and find that I use the same mentality as I used in the darkroom. If you know what good print should look like in wet work,. you will no doubt be able to create them in digital printing as well. 
It's not rocket science.
