UPS decided to walk on the box, but it is well protected. I guess the box will be part of the value of this thing, if any, in 25 years...

I was invited a few years back to be on a digital board of advisors for the Library of Congress. (It was a term role.) I very much enjoyed meeting Dr. Hayden and the many librarians at LoC and thinking alongside them.
