Do you deposit a hard copy print out of it all with some such
library as The Library of Congress, for long term archiving?



[MODERATOR'S NOTE:  We have a hard copy in the HIT Lab, which we are
installing as one of the first items in our Knowledge Base/Library.
We tried discing some of it down for personal storage, but the task
really got out of hand and the whole enterprise was abandoned.  As
soon as we have our big machines up and running, we will do a dump 
of the archives onto a long-lasting disc.  You bet, Will, this and
the Roll Call will have historians slavering into the 22nd Century...
