archival disaster: CD envelopes

[George Nicol]

This is a wild guess, so copious salt is a good thing.

Take one of your least important archives and put it in the freezer
for a few hours. Then carefully use a letter opener to separate the
window from the disc. Or perhaps just tear the envelope away.

It may be an urban myth, but I've heard you can open your wife's
mail using this technique. And reseal it when you're done! But I
wouldn't know. Never tried it. Really.

If you dare to try (with a disc, eh) report the results, please.

Do you think weight/pressure contributed to the problem? Unlikely.
Never heard of this before. Thanks for the cautionary tale.
