Perhaps we should include a barebones Knoppix-like distro on the CD
with the libraries and utilities to play back the audio.  I am sure

As far as the acid-free paper... at some point in the future,
speech-to-text will be good enough to handle converting the journals
into written form, which can be printed out on acid-free paper.
Voila!
