Bush Data Stitches

Via the New York Times, it looks like the electronic data coming from the Bush Administration will be causing the National Archives to go running for the aspirin.

"Sam Watkins, a transition liaison officer at the archives, said his agency was expecting to receive 20 to 24 terabytes of e-mail alone from the Bush White House. By contrast, Mr. Watkins said, the volume of e-mail from the Clinton White House was less than one terabyte."

I was also interested in reading about the possible preservation problems in the use of proprietary products. Of course, they also mention the Cheney lawsuit.
