Excellent post, thanks for the share! I think about
that loss of
information often. Its a shame preservation hasn't been more of a
theme, there are probably countless iconic video games for which the
original source code doesn't exist anymore. If "digital archivist" was
more in-demand in tech companies I'd love to engage with that sort of
work professionally...maybe someday.
But isn't it, what this group is all about?
Collecting all the (Unix) pieces we can find, and talk about the past.
And copying the archives to newer disks, newer mail systems so it will
hopefully survive ...
