Okay... it could weigh less, but for any archive you have to go with the most reliable and rugged medium. Enjoy!

    What model drives do you use? Are the drives you're using designed for long-term archival storage?

    Fran, get a bunch of woodpeckers and have them chisel your YouTube channel in stone like the Flintstones! 😂

    Fran… I love how you said that the weight of the videos increases as you add data withTHE MOST STRAIGHT FACE. I love it! You're the funniest…

    One of the things that sets your channel apart from others is that your content has information that is relevant past today's 24 hour news cycle. I think you are only half right about your library of content, maybe it won't be around in 100 years mainly because you aren't putting much effort into making that happen, but the need for and the desire for your content will be there just as it is today. Where will people go in 100 years to see how tube amps work, your channel. Where will they go for 100 other things, your channel, but you gotta make it happen by putting it multiple places that are accessable and permanent. There are other social and political reasons also that you should make yourself and your content more widely known today, you are a successful and respected member of your community and more people should be familiar with you😊. In my estimation you are selling yourself and future inquisitive people interested in old tech short. Please preserve your library better, the future needs you, it depends on you.

    “‘All conditioned things are impermanent’ — when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.” The Buddha, Dhammapada, verse 277
    I intuit that you, Fran, see with wisdom.

    Interestingly some batteries get heavyer when charged.

    I'll remember you and probably still be watching in 100 years

    When my "head in a jar" is around one thousand years from now, I will think fondly of YouTube and your awesome channel. I know your jar will be there too! We truly enjoy your creativity.🎉❤

    About ephemeral. Yes the video's are that but you use them to seed idea's. Those last forever. I mean remember the guy who invented the wheel? Or the claw hammer? Nobody does. But the idea stuck.

    I still use your idea of plastic welding. Put sprue from a model kit in my Dremmel en weld away. I even pass the idea on. Also works really well on those pieces inside plastic toy and kitchen appliances that need re-threading to hold a screw again.

    Thanks for that.

    Hey Fran. Love that flipbook/rolodesk thing. Remember those from the 20's…. 1920's that is. They were dime machines you could watch movies on. Do you know what is the official name of the system? If uit has any.

    Sometime in the autumn of 2123… Archeologists sit around watching FranLab on a hard drive they dug up. Probably not one of Fran's original drives, but an archive a fan made.

    And they all chuckle, because somehow, Fran and FranLab are remembered 100 years later.
