Something tells me there's someone out there who has consolidated a bunch of:

 - paper tape to punch cards
 - punch cards to 9-track tape
 - 9-track tapes to 8" floppies
 - 8" floppies to 5.25" floppies
 - 5.25" floppies to 3.5" floppies
 - 3.5" floppies to a CD
 - CDs to DVD

And they'll probably consolidate all there DVDs someday to something
else.  Somewhere, someone has ENIAC or UNIVAC source code that's
passed through all these media :)
