[ARC5] New Homes for Old Warriors

[Peter Gottlieb]

Unless we find a way to put archival copies in some kind of time capsule I fear 
much knowledge will be permanently lost.  Same goes for the gear we're talking 
about.  The majority in the USA don't care about technology and science, and 
many actively hate it.  What that means is that there becomes a lack of desire 
to spend any money on preservation (museums and libraries).  Corporate interests 
don't see a profit from it and there you go.
