Cult of Mac has published this article talking about Jason Scott’s quest to find and archive all software ever published for the Apple II. Jason works for the retro computer enthusiast’s best friend, the Internet Archive.
Although it is something that many people have been doing over this years, it is reassuring that the Internet Archive has someone dedicated to such task.
“I tell people for a very small amount of effort and an entire realm of human creation can be saved,” Scott told Cult of Mac. “All it requires is pulling data off obsolete media and putting it online. A notable amount of human effort is disappearing and the effort to preserve it is very minimal. We’re not talking about rare silk where there’s like only 12 people in the world who restore it.
