I realise the significance of what you say. We need digital silver to store images. I suppose a “write once read many” digital silver process could be developed for archival images. This could be in the form of a silver emulsion on a plastic 3.5” floppy disc where digital data is optically written then the silver image developed chemically so it may be read by an optical reader. If it was mounted in a firm plastic sleeve then it will be possible to make a machine to process the disc before putting it in the optical reader for use. Do you recall the printers plates? A process like that (lithography) may be used to store digital data and that medium will last hundreds of years without loss of data. Not only images but writing as well all as digital data.

By the way the psychiatric treatment that was forced on me (for political reasons) has made my body shrink, I am several inches shorter than I was two years ago and I am getting stupid and drowsy. I think I am more stupid than I was too…..
