Man, you said it. For real.

Thanks for sharing this btw! I'm too ADHD to work as an archivist myself (a fact that I unfortunately had to learn the hard way), but I'm very interested in the logistics of digitization. This is one of the many times when I wish I did MMORPGs so I could join in one of your FFXIX campaigns and be a fly on the wall while you talk about this.
