Brings up an interesting point about archiving. You can't access 20 year old stuff, how about when it's 1,000 years old? Nothing like the written word. Also, I read a while ago that the National Archives are storing music and other spoken stuff on ....you guessed it VINYL! Yes, they're making LP records! Why you ask? What is more basic than vinyl and a needle. Sort of like my 100 year old Victrola that I can actually crank up and put on a platter. 10 years, 50 years or 1,000 years from now....just think about your iPod music being accessible.
