The Exhibit Hall looked more like AIIM than ARMA.  At the Tech  
Stuff.  Also there were a great many sessions dealing with the  
records managers move into technology. If people are not getting the  
message that RM's need to be paying attention to the computer records  
then this show should have opened some eyes.

Under the heading of you can fool some of the people some of the  
time, FIRELOCK Radioactive Gummy Bears were a big hit.

No Hawaiin shirts were spotted anywhere.

Would somebody high up in ARMA please outlaw Cow Bells on the show  
room floor.

As I was waiting out front where the ARMA Hotel buses pulled up, a  
certain Records Storage Company's big van rolled by with a Fire Truck  
following it two cars back with its Siren running.  There were  
several comments about the Baltimore's enlightened fire department  
being proactive.  Also two comments I cannot repeat.

The electronic storage companies on the floor were using lost tapes  
and fires as their justification for some of their electronic storage  
initiatives.  As usual competing technologies see events from  
different perspectives and the RM's are left to determine the product  
mix that serves them best.

We had a banner show based on pressure from upper management to  
develop a disaster resistant platform for records management.

The number of young records managers was encouraging.  But ti was the  
old ones giving all the presentations in the conferences so we still  
got it going.

It was definitely fun to see all the Listserv base there.  And that  
is all the news I have that I have.


Honest!
