[Bcma-l] Round Up Technology Topics?

[bcma-l@museumsassn.bc.ca]

I would love to know about all the stuff that Shelley recommended. Heard
that Brian Wilson just gave a great talk on some of the issues at the
Summerland museum. Really practical tech. stuff that everyone should know,
not just museums. Such as what is the best brand of CD to put photos on,
what ink to use etc.. Wish I could have been there.
