Magnetic media FTGH!

Back in October, I wrote that I had two boxes of magnetic media that were not worth - to me - the space they were taking up. This drew a note from one Rob Jarratt, saying I haven't heard from anyone, and I can't really hang onto these indefinitely in the hope that a nebulous "someone" will show up to image them. As I wrote in October, I didn't have a system that could image any of them, and that hasn't changed since then. I know there are at least a few of us in/near Ottawa; if any of them read this and are willing to help out, possibly by imaging the tapes, possibly by just taking over keeping them, possibly something else, I'd love to hear about it. I too think it would be good to preserve the data...BUT not to the extent of overriding my need to pare back the space my *ahem* "collection" is occupying. I think the end of the year is about as long as I can wait without hearing anything. Given email's unreliability these days, I'd also like to leave more than just email as a way of getting hold of me. +1-613-482-0910 should either reach me or take a message. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
