Letters from Darwin

http://www.theregister.com/2007/05/17/darwins_letters/

Like many people, I suppose, I mourne the loss of written letters, yet lack the impetus to write them myself. Such memories have I in electronic form, such memories delievered to me by relatives and loved ones, that I fear that these will be lost as the electronic age moves on.

Not that my life will amount to much, not that anything I have amassed in my collection is great, but more that my memory is not what it should be. These missive I place here are transient, they will be lost when the next crash occours, for I have no backup, and do not regularly export to tape (though I do have the facility).

I oft have thought that I should change, incase prosperity requires it of me, but I’m afraid to say that I doubt I will.
