I've been discussing long term data storage with some technology folks. 
One of the many points they make is that keeping the data is not so much a 
problem, the problem is being able to read it over time specifically 
because in a computer application the programming also may change 
periodically, say, every 12 18 months. Items called copybooks change with 
these iterations and if your not keeping them you can't read that former 
version of the code. I sort of almost understand this. But I'm looking for 
some help from the more computer programming literate members of the list 
who may better understand this particular aspect of data storage and 
explain in layman's terms.

Thanks,
Gary
