DIGITAL ARCHIVE

  In response to last week's item about the Library of Congress'
  plan to archive much of the Internet, Kavan Ratnatunga writes:
  "A 120 Terabyte archive of the Internet was put online in Oct
  2001 in the WayBack Machine. http://www.archive.org/ .
  It archives with a delay of about 6 months.  Google maintains a
  cache of the current Internet, and archives with a delay of about
  1 month. In a recent talk at CMU I was told Google operates
  with with a system of 15000 computers with 2000 Terabyte of
  storage. So anything put online with simple HTML not hidden
  behind database queries will probably be preserved. Personal
  disk files are a different story.  So I suggest putting online
  anything worth preserving and sharing with others."
