I think the raw data could be gained for 4 figures. But it will be in a bespoke database format with no explanation of relationships.
I we would then need to build a secure and practical web interface to search this data.
Its not a small feat.

Could we at least get them frozen cryogenically, in the hope that future generations may have the technology to resuscitate them ! :D

Can't someone just send them a couple of blank DVD's and ask them to backup the boards to them until we figure out what to do? *

Just askin' :-)

Got to be more than 8gb, surely? I can download that in about ten minutes.

I have downloaded 5 of the investment boards, I have them in a basic html format with titles, back\next links etc. HYP Share Strategies, for example contains about 75,000 files and is about 100MB in size.
