[QUOTE="TheTallGuy, post: 7255771, member: 9121"] The BBC Doomsday Project was 1986 & yes I did participate. Actually it can be read today - the whole shebang was on the Web a while ago & I viewed my own lamentable contribution. That said, it took a large effort to transform the data from a proprietary system to something more accessible in the modern era. With modern file formats and cloud hosting it's far easier to maintain readability of data - data in the form of jpg, pdf, txt & htm is going to be readable for many years to come & if trends move away from those formats then you can guarantee that there will be utilities to either directly read them or convert the files to newer formats.
