[Grace Speaker]

I know it's what Terry wanted, but I still find it heart-breaking that we'll never get to know what was on those hard drives of his and what that very clever bugger had planned for our favourite characters, or what new ones he was busy cooking up in that extraordinary brain of his.

Indeed so - Richard Henry (curator of the Salisbury Museum) is quoted in the BBC article as saying: "It's surprisingly difficult to find somebody to run over a hard drive with a steamroller", but mainly, I should think the timing is aimed at promoting awareness of the opening Terry Pratchett: His World Exhibition at the museum on 16 September.
