I really like PBS and what they've done for the world throughout my life but whoever is in charge of their archives should be drawn, quartered, razed to ash and then asked politely to leave for having absolutely no in house storage.

I think PBS could probably handle the cost of one slightly above average old desktop PC (15 years old is FIINE) and 6 20TB hard drives FFS.
