[Informatics] A paper-based backup solution

[Roland Gesthuizen]

True story. Back when we had to write each assignment by hand, I enjoyed crafting the hand-drawn graphs and attaching assorted Infrared, HPLC or computer printouts. I recall that on the due date, I left my books upon the roof of the car whilst I was packing away my things. My horse Aspro trotted over and nipped my final year chemistry assignment out of the stack then cantered across the property. I recall grabbing my lunch then bolting after him (people can run faster than a horse over 100 metres, especially desperate science students) I managed to recover all but the cover page and snotty, green horse slobber all over edges of the rest.

“Sorry for the mess Sir, a horse ate my assignment"

Internet uploads? The young of today have it easy.

Regards Roland
