Well, if they wanted to do ANYTHING seriously useful for the PhD student in
2280 working on a dissertation about this era, the best thing they could do
would be to print all that stuff in hard copy on acid-free paper and store
the bundle at the British Museum in an atmosphere controlled case... By
2280, all copies of the CD-ROM will be completely useless and unreadable (if
they haven't actually disintegrated from within).
