Paper is readable by anyone anytime anywhere.

In the foreword to one of his books, Arthur C Clarke explains the problems with being a writer. He apparently had a safe full of his old manuscripts, typed on various computers over the years and in numerous formats. None of them readable any more because there's nothing to load the tapes/discs/whatevers into and no software exists to read the files.

Should have used Libre Office! :-)


Cheers,
Norm.
