digitizationblog News on digitization in libraries and allied institutions

This item, courtesy of Slashdot, documents how researchers have used emulation to run a copy of William Gibson's Aggrippa, which ran on a Mac System 7 diskette that encrypted itself after the first time it ran.

Gibson and his collaborators on the project endorsed this activity.
