But the newest trend is to use disk to disk back up ( or virtual 
mirroring
or virtual tape) so then everything is on line all the time as the
least
expensive way to store the information.

If this is the cheapest way to do it and this provides vulnerabilities,

then
this is an opening for RM to step in and discuss where real records
protection is over laid on the program. Viruses, sabotage, industrial
espionage, bots and who knows what else, makes management uneasy,
especially in light of SOX.

Could we develop an intelligent position paper among us.  ( I know 
Bruce,
that leave's me out. )  Soon we will have a new E-Storage Guideline 
under
the leadership of ARMA's brightest minds and our new President.  Wait 
that
doesn't sound right. Well you know what I mean. We have the ability to

create
a thesis that each and every RM could use to open the door to 
interfacing with IT.
I believe ILM can't truly exist without RM's. The E-Storage Guideline 
could be an
excellent starting point for your discussion.

I agree Kutztown and College Station share some of the same traits. 
More cows
than people, etc.   Tipping cows is a favorite Homecoming Event in both

communities.
But if College Station's big plus is being close to Austin, well I rest

my case.
I will leave it to others to defend ND.
