If an archivist did his thing with the mass of material stored within the Vanagon "archives", the result probably would not even consume a 3.5" floppy. Short of Chinese motorcycle jackets, sometimes I think one of the greatest affronts to the human condition has been the availability of cheap bytes. George |
