In a recent news event, it was mentioned that any e-mail sent to the White House must be retained, by act of Congress, forever. It occurred to me that this was a really cool feature which would allow you to send a message into the future for your decedents.

I mentioned this in passing to my son Greg who is, apparently, a bit more devious than I am. He realized that it was a great way to back up your term papers.

Now, the obvious thought one would have, is, sure you can have your data backed up, but how do you get it back?

No problem; it’s called the Freedom of Information Act.
