I would personally convert them into files so they can be most easily shared here or elsewhere online. I've grown accustomed to downloading select files from http://artscene.textfiles.com/rtty/COLLECTION/ and piping them through my Volpe boards to print on my machines.

That seems to me the best way to preserve and share these. Autostart would be fun, of course, just not a way to preserve them more permanently.
