Congratulations to us all, even if a little late.
It makes me wonder, what is the oldest still running mailinglist?

Is there interesting of having a "comunity backup" of bitsavers in Brazil?
Here in Sao Paulo we have a network maintained by friends. When we meet, we
all r-sync our secondary backups and when we get home, r-sync the primary
backups. We have many data repositories in safe harbour, and we would be

At the risk of sounding like a nitpicker, I think that mainly depends on if
it's a motorway, a highway or the Autobahn.

Tape backup lto would do it easily, at this point probably incremental backups
to an external drive would be a cheap alternative too.

The bitsavers archive is 267 Gbytes.
So at 4.7G per DVD, it comes out to almost 60 DVD's.
I would suggest using Blue-Ray media, at 25GB or 50GB per disk. We're then
down to 6 or 11 platters.
It would only be a bit more than a million 8" SSSD floppies.
Cheapest might be to send it out on a 1/

A FAQ in my old emails show the founding of the Classiccmp mailing list as
being 20 years and 1 month ago. March 13 1997 was when Bill Whitson first set

Ha! I Have, several times. I'm still wrapping up the datacenter migration.
At this point, its down to loose ends and freebie/myhobbystuff :)
