Does make you wonder about our 'digital heritage' though...
"Film" has been around for over a hundred years, easy to process even if you 
dont have a projector.. 

I doubt they'll be IDE/SATA adapters around in a hundred years time...
They've already run into problems with a BBC "doomsday" project done in 1986 - 
which was recorded to "laserdiscs" - already obsolete - and they had major 
issues trying to copy it to a different platform...
