Solution to Redundant Obsolescence

by Allen Rabinovich and Joel Corbo

This puzzle consists of 6 pieces of obsolete media, each with some data on it. The media and data are:

  1. A microcassette, with a recording of phonetones that spell "Indefinite article before vowel" (4633346483-2784253-233673-86935).
  2. A minidisc, with a recording of "Brokeback Mountain Director Lee" in morse.
  3. A 5.25" floppy, containing a text file with the phrase, "Non-governmental organization" in ASCII.
  4. A VHS tape of a person spelling out "John Norman's Counter Earth" in semaphore.
  5. An unprocessed role of black and white film, with photos of Maritime Signal Flags, spelling "Komodo Dragon Native Name".
  6. A Zip disk, containing a set of images of items in the NATO phonetic alphabet, spelling "Egyptian Sun God".

The answers to these clues (with suggestive spacing) are 

AN
ANG
 NGO
  GOR
   ORA
    RA
so the answer is ANGORA.
