[ih] Really old list archives

[Jack Haverty]

There's a variety of organizations that have been compiling oral and 
even video histories by interviewing us IOFs (Internet Old Farts). I 
find it curious that no one seems interested in preserving the history 
captured in emails like the ones here and on many past mailing lists.

Ages ago (mid 1970s) we used the Datacomputer as a place to store 
"important" emails for posterity.   After all, it would take a long time 
to fill up that one terabit warehouse!   So naive...    There were a 
bunch of early "important" emails put in the Datacomputer - things like 
email proposals, interactions with ARPA, reports, etc. I wonder if they 
still exist somewhere on backup tapes.
