Subject: Your last cryonics wishes on CD/Video Tape?

After thinking it over a bit, I think that you are going to be more flexible
in delivering your wishes if you have a small video camera on your computer
that you can use any time to change/ edit your last wishes. They are
extremely cheap now ($20-50) and are readily available at any
computer/electronics store. They record in mpeg format.

Also, because, CDs and video tapes may deteriorate over the years (probably
10-50 years) I'd probably download it to a web server where you can maintain
it virtually for free (e.g. if you have your own personal or business web
site, add a page to it e.g. www.myname.com/mylastwishes and keep it there
while your site is up and beyond). There are free web site that you can
virtually do no maintenance and only display banner ads and it'll be there
for a long time. Your mpeg format is probably going to be the same format
that will be used for video in decades and if not, there will be conversions
from older version available. You'll be able to play it in Windows Media
Player or RealPlayer or any other comparable player using the same
technology.

If you look at the state of mp3 technology today, you can play mpeg files
from 3-5 years ago easily, the quality will not be good, but it does it.

Sincerely,
