I suspect that the best shot at longevity is to get the stuff up on a web
site (in a web standard format) that is considered "important" in some sense
by one of the web archiving efforts (http://www.archive.org/) or even
Google's (Brian?). Chances are some stuff will randomly survive for many
years -- possibly with the same half-life as our film in shoeboxes.
