I'm sure someone's whined about this before, but it's unfortunate that
Compuserve didn't archive its message bases and file libraries.
I think we're long past the time when the trove of archive tapes
would've been found and restored. Maybe it didn't makes sense from
a backup/storage/archive/cost perspective.
In all my years of Compuserve-ing, I did save my entire session
as a file capture. I did edit them afterwards, cutting out the junk
forum messages that didn't interest me at the time. Then I'd compress
them and store them on floppies. Perhaps other digital packrats did
the same and some old messages could be recovered from stores like mine.
