|

<P>The subject was scanning for archival storage of flakey documents. The
|
|
<BR>
|
|
point is, this is going the wrong way. The flakiest things are the digital
|
|
<BR>
|
|
media. Five years from now your disks probably won't be here. 10 years from
|
|
<BR>
|
|
now they certainly won't. If you keep regularly copying to new disks you
|
|
<BR>
|
|
still have a high probability of calamatous failure along the way, loosing
|
|
<BR>
|
|
large chunks of data.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Scanners are great for getting working copies of images onto your big fast,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
but oh so flaky, hard disks. That's all.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Only a small portion of archival requirements are for legal reasons. Think
|
|
<BR>
|
|
how thin your school history books would have been, if everything were
|
|
<BR>
|
|
stored on modern digital media since the time of the Egyptians....... Hey
|
|
<BR>
|
|
wait a minute, I like the idea of that!
