X-Message-Number: 2667 Date: Sat, 26 Mar 94 19:48:15 CST From: Subject: CRYONICS Image Archives Regarding Thomas Donaldson's suggestion to store digital data (images) as numbers on paper, I would like to point out that this discussion was started in the context of archiving images for cryonics purposes. Since cryonics requires the continuity of civilization, we can assume this same condition holds for our archiving task. If so, the best place to store images is right on the hard disk of your cryonics organization's computer. This data will then smoothly migrate from one computer generation to the next, much as my own CryoNet archives. (Yes, you can all expect to have your CryoNet postings "grepped" by me or my descendants in the far future.) --- Brian Wowk Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2667
