It makes me wish I had a screen shot of the old version. If you find out the answers to your questions - please pass them along. Rob-

I can't find either claim, or any other substantive misuse of the word "first" on the site. It will be very interesting to ask Jeff Place (archivist at Folkways) whether this is something he is handling, and what the details are for preservation of a blob of digital data for 20 years? Are they going to be migrating formats? Do they have redundant off-site backups in case D.C. gets nuked next week? Is he even involved, or is this being done by the computer guys instead of the archivists. I must know! So it would seem that your complaints have forced Google to get more real.
