Can it be done as anything OTHER than a hobby

There certainly doesn't seem to be enough economic incentive to put in
that much work. I kept at it for years after it no longer paid the bills.
The worlds archives are slowly waking up to the fact that digital
preservation
is a problem. To be honest, though, I don't see very many people going to the
trouble of saving much of anything before 1980.
I am very surprised no one from Stanford (Henry Lowood) or the European KEEP
project has ever contacted them about details, since they are all working on
preservation of copy-protected games.
