[sebhc] A little advice for preserving software.

[Pat Swayne]

For what it's worth, here's a little advice for preserving old software: 
Print out the source on acid-free paper. Printing on paper is the only 
medium that has stood the test of time. Remember punch cards. How many 
machines that can read them are around now? How about punched paper tape? 
And now cassette tapes are going away, as are hard sector disks. How long 
before no one has anything that can read a CD?
Just a little advice from someone whose first computer course was on an IBM 
360.
