For over a decade, the national media periodically has treated the
American public to horror stories regarding the fate of important
documents available only in digital form. Oft-repeated tales chronicle
the loss of valuable scientific, government, and business data stored on
punch cards or 8-inch floppy disks or written in computer languages
long dead. At the same time, we know that the world is becoming
increasingly dependent on digital information. A much-publicized study
conducted at the University of California at Berkeley in 2000 estimated
that 93% of the world's yearly intellectual output is produced in
digital form.

deciding for myself.” M. Hashimoto
