This number asks
"Why So Slow towards Practical Preservation?" and suggests answers
that are admittedly incomplete, and are perhaps also controversial. DDQ
offers to publish brief dissents with its opinions.
It also contains a
dozen short reports on preservation and innovation announcements of more than
average interest, starting with several European items. Its "Home
Computing" section suggests several free or inexpensive utility programs
that appeal to me.
