[QUOTE="Evan Saltis, post: 7897559, member: 103066"]For sure I don't recall his name, but one of the big names in the USENET era has made clear that many file types will not be readable with tech now, and these filetypes will only become more and more obsolete. I think of old video games which will be rendered unrunnable, old documents saved in long gone file formats, and I'm sure there are many more. This is partially why I have transferred all of my grandmothers data off of her Windows 98 computer (I don't know how it still works after so many years) [SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] Already, my computer can’t run a program I made less than a decade ago. It will be like the burning of the great library all over again. Files that we may lose in decades to come may have great consequence.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/QUOTE]
