Ain't it funny how we have come to believe in the permanence of data
written on something as slippery and  impermanent as a hard disk?  An
Archive? If you were to break one of those suckers open, you could not
even scrape off the ones and zeros onto a clean sheet of paper and hire
zealots to piece them together like the contents of a paper shredder.
Ten year old information?, lets see, that stuff was on the machine that
died in '97 or was it '86 and on the old Kaypro II ?  I have an old,
solid aluminum, portable Kaypro with a huge 16 MB hard drive, wonder
what's on that disc?
