What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's a miracle, Nina. A game that was deleted from the internet is back, and anyone with a decent computer can walk down that hallway.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA hallway that the original owners spent years protecting on aging hard drives. Now it's a download, and the museum curators are out of work.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA gift shop. The exhibit is now a gift shop.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAnd the gift shop has no owner and no opening hours. What does that mean for you? Possibly a takedown notice by Friday.
