also defence data
@Monsieur DePlume
I worked on at least two defence projects where we were the first to actually examine data that had accumulated for years, but there had never been money allocated to studying it. We were looking at ancient magnetic tapes in ancient formats, religiously collected because orders are orders. Sometimes the tapes had been transcribed to CDs.
The military people we dealt with were all strongly oriented to the here and now, and not interested in going over old data.
