I'll try to get something to the group this week -- we have an
opportunity to apply for a small grant through IGDA. Stay
tuned.<br><br>

I didn't bring this up, I just wondered about the technical side of
preserving digital data (nevermind hard copies of written stuff or
anything!). Stop making my topic go off topic, haha! :P<br><br>
I think it'd be great to bring this up another time (or discuss it now I
guess if people want to ;) ). A discussion on how to allow companies to
give away more rights to archives or whoever, so it's more useful to have
the actual games, would be good too. Dark archives are necessary, but
honestly a bit useless, especially for games, like you said since no one
can use them!<br><br>
