Lack of exposure to deteriorated items, if you don't see it, it doesn't exist.
Cost, compare some archival paper or ink to convential stuff. I was in the
Container store the other day looking for storage boxes to put some of our
thousands of books into, and when I saw the archival boxes I figured my
search was done. Then I looked at the $29.99 price each for the boxes that
would hold less than 100 paperbacks.
Does anyone know why there's such little

computer industry?
That's easy--there's no money in it.
