Re: [ARSCLIST] at this rate, won't be much to archive soon enough

Indeed, the problem of WHAT to archive has only worsened. Anyone can create
a podcast/webpage/etc. It's no longer trying to save the output of some
obscure record company (Grey Gull, etc). Now you have people generating and
publishing their own content. Mind you, people could always record tapes,
etc. They simply couldn't ever distribute them the way one can over the
'net.

Sure there will.  It just won't be pieces of physical media.

I am currently archiving every poetry podcast I can to hard drive.  I wish 
I had the resources to archive much more than that.

I think in 30 or 40 years, people will go nuts for these early inteernet 
broadcasts, just as folks have gone ga-ga for old-time radio since the 
70's...

So get archiving, people...

For that matter - go check out the wealth of lossless downloadable music 
available all over the web - same thing.  I wish I had the $$ to download 
and archive all the unique material that Robert Fripp is making available 
through his downloadable music distributor...
