Two points:
* I hope that there is redundancy and backups in the planned computer systems in order to reduce the risk of any power downturns or any inability to retrieve and/or store and/or erase program/data material.
* Though not mentioned in the article, that the ABC keep well-maintained analogue 1", 2" (quad) and betamax (std definition broadcast quality) video machines, 16mm and 35mm telecine as well as analogue audio machines to transfer archival material to the new computer system.
There is a lot of important ABC history pre-digital (1990s), pre-2001, pre-dcart (early 1990s) that needs to be preserved and not lost forever.
