As with any preservation endeavor, generating interest is the thing. My granddaughters (10 and 8 respectively) will sit for hours and play Pac Man and Donkey Kong on MAME (granted, we limit their game time as a whole), and that's what you have to create to generate interest in preservation: memories. The 20somethings could care less because they're all buried in Warcraft and porn. But my granddaughters will want to save this stuff because they'll look back and remember playing Berzerk with granddad. It's the same reason most of US got involved with MAME. I say expose more younger kids to it and this phenom will continue in perpetuity. With all the faux cabinets being sold at Wal-Mart and Costco, SOMEBODY is buying, so we aren't dead yet.

I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.
