Nice descriptive phrase there...
The fact that the only avenue for dissemination for
much of it is on the
internet is even more of a problem. I've got lots of old bookmarks to sites
with valuable information that have long vanished from the web.
That's why when I want to keep some info I normally tend to make a local
archival copy of the pages in question. Which is also why I really need to
get around to installing another HD in my server... :-)
