I'm putting this here because it's virtually impossible to reach by e-mail, all the people I know who will be interested in this news.

I need to stress that the appearance of this information here does not imply that it, and indeed any information on this website, is in any way endorsed by the UK Home Office or the UK Border Agency.

Reclaim your computer!

A personal computer is called a personal computer because it's yours. Anything that runs on that computer, you should have control over.

The most serious impediment to a lasting archive is the evolution of media, platforms, formats, and the applications that create them. Unique, proprietary, and constantly evolving data formats such as Acrobat-4, MPEG-4, Oracle 8, Quicken 2001, Real G2, and Word 2000 suggest or even guarantee obsolescence.
