Scruffy Millennials covet old record players because they dig the format;
the National Archives and Records Administration keeps old file players
around because legacy digital data demand them.
"I am preserving every file format that has ever existed on the web, or
that any of you have ever used in your work on a daily basis," said Leslie
Johnston, NARA's director of digital preservation, who spoke at a March 10
FedScoop event. "In one transfer from one agency, we received not only their
email, their Word documents, their PDFs, their PowerPoints -- we actually
received the entire contents of their hard drives."
