If you're creating documents (or downloading them) that you or your grandchildren may want to read in 30 years, here's an idea for a universal computer language which might allow it. The issue is huge for librarians and archivists, but also for those of us who've been around for a while (tried to open a WordStar document recently?).
Here's a fun bunch of time sinks; an Elvis directory, a compendium of NASA images, deleted domain names, and other stuff. The most interesting might be a PowerPoint version of the Gettysburg Address(!)
