Re: Friday humor a little late...



Folks -

I do believe that Steve is correct...

But from another point of view, if the people in this same room were
discussing an important records issue, the following outcome might be
predicted....

The attorney says shred it.

The IT Specialist says digitize it.

The Records Manager says schedule it.

The Archivist shows the attorney the legislation that prohibits
destruction, tells the IT Specialist how digitzing a mess just produces a
faster mess and passes a note to the Records Manager reminding him/her that
the last time they were in this situation it was followed by session with a
bottle of Bushmills.....

Cheers!

Mark
