105 Year Old negative

Hi All

I have come into possession of a 105 year old glass plate negative, with the chance of getting a couple more.

The negative measuses 5 inches by 7 inches, (now thats a big neg), and is in near perfect condition.
I have been asked to make some prints from the neg in my darkroom tomorrow, and looking foward to it.

I just wonder if a C D was lying around for 105 years with some images on it,and then found would it be possible to retrieve prints from that C D, probably not, there probably wouldn't be a computer around to read the format.
This neg will survive another 100 years if looked after, but could a C D.
A good debating point Film verses Digital.

Take a look at the Neg below, not bad for it's age i reckon.
