The current crop of Macintosh computers cannot open MacDraw files created in the 1980s, not because of file degradation but because of the evolution of format standards. A file archived on a DVD that will last for a hundred years won't do anybody any good if within twenty years nobody remembers how to differentiate it from a random stream of bits.
