I got my first PHS about 20 years ago ....still have it, and plan to get another, not sure why, maybe just in case something new has shown up

Anyway, price is fine to me, well worth it. I can't complain about condition, it is what it is, who knew anyone would care about this stuff 40 years later. I get a kick out of getting a printout of the original film ....the quality of which is fixed, and cannot be improved on at this point.


I find myself curious about a couple of things though. First, how did this information become the property of one person, how was it obtained. If it's still owned by GM, is it leased? Borrowed? etc.

Next would be ....what can be done to preserve this information? The film is not going to last forever, the machine that reads it will not last forever. I mean this is not just about preserving information because it's someone's business.... it's also about preserving information that is important to a lot of people, and at some point before it is lost should enter the public domain.
