I believe it /is/. I can't remember where/when I read this, but such
exhibits, being part of a class action lawsuits, need to allow public
access. Without the Web site, you would have to spend a lot of money
requesting paper copies, which is an arduous process. The Internet makes
corruption more visible. Again. And not even Gates' idea of 'bitrot' will
allow history to slip away and be forgotten.
