I have the sneaking suspicion that in 20 years we'll be asking similar questions about resurrecting our sequence/song files for modern use.
My cassettes of my old material - still play - still a reminder of how bad I really was!

Scott,
Quite possibly something like...
"Hey, you remember those CD things, and then the DVD things that followed after? Yeah, well, I've got a bunch of them I came across a while ago, and I don't have any way to scan the data to get the music off there. How did we live with only 25 gigabytes of data anyway? I mean, come on, I just recorded something and it took up half my 500 Exaabyte drive! Any suggestions on how to recover it and put it on the new (insert your name of future technology HERE)?"

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

I kind of pulled that previous post out of the air at the end of a long day at work.
Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, Petabyte, Exabyte....
However, in retrospect, when I really started working with computers, '386's and Windows 3.0 was brand new. The 'big' hard drives were 105 MEGAbytes. I remember seeing my first Gigabyte hard drive. It took up two 5 1/4" bays and sounded like a jet engine taking off. A group of us were standing around it....$1,000 by the way, in the very early '90s, and wondering how you would ever fill it up, and was it really worth the cost. The 105MB drives, at the time, were $200+ in SCSI and more in ATA.
Now, I have 3 terabytes in the computer alone, my backup server has 2 and will be getting 2 or 3 TB more soon, and it only costs me a couple of hundred dollars.
I realize that we've kind of run up against the upper barrier of Moore's law, but will we actually get to molecular computing? If so, what will a molecular hard drive hold? Can we build nanotechnology? Maybe not now, but, in 20 years?
Less than 20 years from 1GB to multiterabyte, from 7 mHz to 3+gHz. Eight bit to 64 bit. Why not?

I still have my first HDD - a Teac 5MB ST506 interface in an XT clone that I bought with twin 360kB floppy's. I added the controller and HDD myself several months later... Then added another 5 MB drive and thought I was the ant's pants with 2 * 5 MB HDD's.
My how times have changed...

On the subject of preservation, vinegar works, but formaldehyde is better.
