Here's the problem with your logic. What possible purpose would "archiving" it have other than eventual distribution to others? If the guy lives up to his promise no one will ever see or use it, ever, so there is none.

My motivations are three-fold: A) I want to peek inside myself without having to boot them up. NeXTStep isn't really the most efficient way for me to poke around. B) I don't know if John might change his mind or not, but I want to be prepared in case he does. I'm a history buff, and I believe this stuff is useful. C) I don't know for how much longer these machines & disks might stay working. Agreed that if John says "never", then once I die, the data needs to die as well. But hopefully I still have some years left on me. :)
