Just experienced an unpleasant reminder about why you should always save your documents. I was preparing my part of a staff talk on iPres 2025 and lost my second draft. I have started to rely a bit too heavily on my autosave (which is set to 10 minutes) but Word crashed and that&#39;s several hours of work gone. Silly. And ironic!

I&#39;ve been thinking a bit more about the Logic Pro collection I&#39;ve been working on and future access considerations... Has anyone else been thinking about how to deal with these proprietary formats that rely on software that we can&#39;t preserve? Or the migration of package formats? 😬 Or are these files destined to be the bones of digital archaeology in the future?
