    Discussed
    “Famously in the UK, there was something called the New Domesday Book, and they archived lots of stuff on BBC microcomputers. Within 10 to 15 years, no one had the right software to play that. I think it was 20 years or something like that, and someone had to go and reverse engineer this, and that was like 20 years.”
