And I am not too sure that the stones are necessarily in the original

I was chatting with a native who told me that during WWII the stones had
been laid flat since they were too good a landmark for the Luftwaffe and
only re-erected after the war. True? Don't know, but it makes some
sense.
Tony, ever hear that?

Well, do not
forget the 'chisel and flat rock' technology. That is
pretty durable!
Although far from a linear relationship, it is beginning to sound as though
data density is directly related to technology advancement, and data
longevity is inversely related.
So, how'zbout build a stonehenge like creation, and chisel the bits into
the hard sectors? Has anyone taken a close enough look at Stonehenge to
confirm that the media is unformatted? At least designing the drive
would be easier than one for reading sheep. (hint: move the head, not the
platter)
