[cma-l] Digital Storage

[Trevor Lockwood]

I sat on a government committee 15 years ago when we were all very 
concerned about digital archiving. After punch cards on main frames I 
moved to 8 inch floppies on a Wang, and now I've hundreds of 3.5 disks 
but no player.

It don't get any easier - but there is a very real danger that our 
entire civilisation will, one day, be lost - when they run out of oil.

Does anyone use any free compression software - we need to get more 
professional on a tight budget.

The government report is in a drawer in government storage, somewhere. 
Nothing was ever done - it was going to cost money, and many brains hurt.
