Start with a big laser and a sheet of granite, then etch all your data onto 
the granite. Bury it in the sand. It worked for the Egyptians. Their data 
has lasted over 5000 years. Of course their "lasers" were chisels but 
they work the same.

Anything else sucks in comparison, so if you're not using that method,
be prepared for the "Syquest effect".
