Do you really think you are going to find a working CD drive in 100+ years? Try finding a working 8" floppy drive and a computer that can interface with one. They are only 50 years old and it's quite a task to read an 8" floppy now.
Data has to be transferred to new media as it becomes available if you want to keep it and be able to read it decades later.
Sometimes I scrounge around bargain tech and I see a vga port (is that a serial port? I can't remember) or the green/purple ports for a mouse and a ???? (keyboard????) and I am blown away because I forgot they existed. And do you remember that big fat fuckin' port that you put a printer on? Cause I remember having to undo, redo, undo, redo that fker a hundred years ago because it never seemed to connect right. But I can't even tell you WHERE I was messing with that. Maybe a library. I just remember it because it was the size of a harmonica (but not really).
