There was an old Asimov story, “Nightfall”? that had a planet where the sun
never went down for something akin to 500 years. Article in today’s paper has
a planet found with three suns. No night for hundreds of years and takes 550
years to orbit the main star. Pretty cool.

I recall reading a sci-fi story about a guy who dug up an old clay pot and
noticed it had some minute squiggles on it from some instrument used to turn it
or shape it or something, and decided to see if it worked like a record, so
rigged up some device and found some snippets of recorded speech. That's all I
remember, it was a great idea for a story though.

Good!
Who will keep the drives so the data can be recovered?
Who has 5.35" floppy drive for me to purchase? including software for
my super computer to manage.
Format and very long life? - fine, but who cares and who will have the
proper knowledge to recover/read the data a generation from now?
Has anyone here at okiebenz ever operated wax cylinder recorder?
The Winding Stream was an interesting documentary about A.P. Carter,
Sara, Maybelle - American Roots country music - again, another storage
media, i.e. 78rpm that is essentially unobtanium.
