And on and on. Quit interesting reading in these threads. Hey, AOL, you might want to archive all of these posts on google, just to throw in cihost.com's face in front of the judge.
Recent studies have suggested that only a few decades from now we will already be loosing access to the mountains of data that have been accumulating for the past two decades as business and education and government moved to electronic storage media. Why? 1) Turns out the life span of all those tapes and disks is shorter than envisaged. They lose the charge required to render information available over a relatively short time; 2) Media formats have begun to change so rapidly that you have 20 or more year old tapes, and in some cases, only 10 or so year old tapes and cartridges, for which it is becoming difficult if not impossible to find the hardware to mount and read the media! Ditto for drives. 3) Legal issues still want to see that contract and that evidence in some sort of written form, on paper; 4) When was the last time you cuddled up with a good book? Vs. cuddling up with a good computer to read a novel, or anything for entertainment, in depth digestion of information, etc. For me, cuddling up at my terminal just doesn't get it. Never has, never will, and I am now coming up on 18 years in this profession.
