Re: Film vs CD Revisited



        All of which overlooks the obsolescence of the software required to run,
see, and use digitized media. See Rothenberg etc. etc. And against Kodak are
sources which see loss of integrity with digitized media in as little as
three to five years.

So, in light of all this, I stand by my original comments when I suggested
that Renee should not microfilm her collection but that she should, instead,
digitize it.  It is, in my opinion, the most cost-effective and efficient
way, now available to us, of recording and preserving content.
