Hi Sellam
I've been trying to explain the difference between an archive
and distribution of data. So far, they just don't get it.

Do you believe future people will be that much
stupider than people
are today, and that all information about computers will have been
totally lost?
I think this assumption needs to be made. It's safer.
Make the archive useful to us, now. Let people
500 years from now
figure it out for themselves.
That's not the definition of an "archive". You're thinking of a
library.
