[Meatloaf] C Components Storage Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed

[Jeff Hayas]

I feel compelled to note that clay tablets with cuneiform text have
survived War, Flood, Parched-Heat, and similar ilk of the mesopotamian
desert since 3100 BC. While many have been broken and fragments lost,
overall the basic text remained.

Clay Tablets Uber Alles.?

And of course those silly ancient humans ignored the advice of the Ancient
Aliens Gods to dip the cuneiform stylus in powdered magnetite ink.
