 GM> I have a collection of old data sheets going back about 45 years,
 GM> all of them still 100% readable, and several data books that are
 GM> even older, also quite readable.

 RJT> That must amount to a fair amount of bulk.  

Yes, but there is always something left out.

 RJT> That's another issue entirely.  OTOH,  once you get the data in a
 RJT> digital format,  it's easy enough to move from one medium to another, 

But only if you do it before the equipment for interpreting the
older medium disappears.

So far the equipment for interpreting ink marks on paper and
silver oxide on plastic film haven't become redundant.
