[BCMA] Covid vs public exhibits

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Lewis,
We purchased Proficio Elements as a replacement for Past Perfect and
have been very happy with it. Including new hardware and two user licences
(a must!) we are into it for about $3500. Feel free to contact me if you
want more info on our experience. Check with them about the technical
aspects.
