It only depends on the value of the records.
Certainly we've heard horror stories of data trapped on old 
equipment/media.

I suspect that most of those cases were avoidable. 
Getting rid of equipment before migrating data pretty well assures some 
bad experiences. 
Obviously, it would help if the system used has some way of porting data 
out of it to another device...

I guess nobody liked my idea of virtualized/bundled 
machine/OS/software/data ???

This is just a test... if this was an actual sig, you would have been 
mildly amused...
