Maybe yeah. What worries me a bit is that, apart from on the internet, I don't see many people who know the difference between lossy and lossless formats (for example). That, and the implication they have going forwards.

That said, it's a WHOLE load more people that what we had in Lomax's time, so that's something. Plus, the technology and information to do it 'properly' is cheaply and readily available.

In fact, there are whole groups of people devoted to preserving out digital history.
