Bada bing, bada boom!

The same flashdrive showed up here today, likewise not certain what to
do with it, so we're asking the selector. First thoughts were:

(1) Burn it to a CD;

(2) Print it off (couple of hundred pages) and have our Preservation
folks bind it for us (how retro is that?)

But we'll see what our selector says. In the meantime, any thoughts?

All the best...
