them 100 years fromn now IF there is a hundred years fron now?Well, my 
cassettes, and real to real tapes STILL play 40 years later!

Good question. I wonder if some of the high temperature, engineering grades 
like PEEK and PPS could be used. Might be a bit expensive though. I remember 
dropping a plastic part on my desk that was made from, I think, PPS and it 
sounded like I was dropping something made of metal. Throw in a little 
teflon and the records might just last 100 years. Oh, wait, the old ones 
have last that long too...

Something to consider: do we have, in 2009, any indestructible plastics
which would make good 78 discs ?
