There was an excellent letter in yesterday's Guardian re.
surgical IT systems?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/feedback/

"That system is badly in need of an update. NHS should centrally write
the software for such systems, which would then be released under an
open source licence. "


Also I thought Jack Schofileds article on data archiving was 
good http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/story/0,3605,871091,00.html
Its a subject I've often banged on about on this list.
Change your data archiving medium/devices every five  years -
you may still have the media, but the drives will be long gone.
