John, I agree with you totally. I can see a lot of storage space and bandwidth for the pictures, but the text results for the last 50 years wouldn't take 10 megabytes. The entire car and bike records for 2008 are 189K.
I'm happy to provide a hosting account free of charge if space is an issue.
Thanks Tyson. I'm sure we could find a hundred generous people that would take care of the problem, but the SCTA has to take care of this.
The difficulty with electronic storage is the very short life time. If someone donates space it could disappear on a moments notice. It happened to a donated Boy Scout district server I was involved with.
So, how do we get SCTA to fix this?
Where are the record runs stored now? How do we get them digitized and put up on the SCTA web site permanently? All of them. The entire history of the SCTA. I don't think there is a week goes by that someone doesn't post here asking about a run from the past.
The pictures are important too. Now you are talking money. Storage space and bandwidth quickly become a big issue. There are thousands of pictures taken every year at Bonneville alone.
