I would have used the Happy Thread for that, it's fantastic news that lightens my heart.  Or maybe I'm just over-concerned with digital art preservation 

[Lord Shonus]

It is in this thread because the notion of something that old being archived now is a bit mind-screwy to me. When you consider the way early electronic stuff was made and treated, it is kind of like finding a lost novel from Mark Twain's era.

That depends... what is the subject of this triptych?  Is it a Basch painting nobody's seen before?

YOU WOULDNT STEAL AN 800 OLD GOTHIC TRIPTYQUE TO MAKE A PERFECTLY ACCURATE FAC-SIMILE, WOULD YOU?!

I would, and I'd download a car, too.

... do my best to keep the old thing in good shape during the digitalization process, though. Folks are getting better at that, these days.

My phone thinks that 800 OLD GOTHIC is a phone number.

My phone thinks that 800 OLD GOTHIC is a phone number.

My IPad thinks this too

That's weird. It's like 2 characters too long, in the states.

Not if there's a dialed extension.

and I personally wouldn't know how to dial them

Am I old now? Am I in a really specific bracket of people too young for rotary dials to be the default, but old enough for letters on a keypad to be familiar?

...or maybe it's just not that intuitive.

Snip. Should just crawl into a hole.

A few weeks ago, I was reading a news story, and in the comments (because I am a degenerate who reads the comments on an article) someone posted a 2016 or 2017 picture of US presidential candidate Beto at an event of some type in El Paso wearing a "The Wall Makes America Great Again" MAGA hat.

I thought I bookmarked it, but I did not. Also, the image does not appear to exist anywhere on Internet, even though I can provide information that should narrow down search results pretty well.

Maybe I dreamt it or something, but that's pretty banal for a dream.

It might be in your browsing history, if it is, can you link it or give the name of the article and the website?

The cellular usage statistics on my phone (iPhone SE) apparently were last reset on September 18, 2013.  I did not even have this phone then.  The SE wasn't even for sale until 2016.

Did it remember the settings from my previous phone?
