Anyone else notice a correspondence between: Software, designed to run on old / 'forgotten' OSes or hardware, now gathering dust in some archive(s). With -at best- some retro enthousiast firing it up on an emulator? And: Species whose genome was sequenced, but gone extinct long ago & ecosystem it used to live in, may not exist today or be suitable anymore? Then consider: How likely for that software to see popular use again? (keeping in mind original OS+hw have disappeared) How likely is it that species will live again, and find an environment to thrive in? Hint: by far the easiest is to preserve what's currently still 'running'. Note how we're failing to do even that.
