Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

My on the go music library 512 GB SanDisk MicroSD from 2 months ago had the same price as my first 16 GB SanDisk MicroSD I put in my HTC Wildfire S.

Has nothing to do with this, but every time someone mentions memory prices, I can’t help but think of this.

I paid over $100 for my first 128MB USB drive around 2002.

I can’t remember what I paid for my 40mb MFM hard drive in 1992. I kind of want to say it was around like $200. ?

The Wildfire S is more than 10 years old tho
