Guess what else works better with a flue...  FIRE.

(For some reason when I think "FIRE" I remember that movie with John
Travolta and Joaquin Phoenix.)

I hate paper.   Perhaps DACS has inadvertantly earned the Steve
Whitaker, CRM I Hate Paper Award !!    Lawrence 'Funky Cold' Medina
chairs the pertinent Award Committee.   Send your nominations to him. 
Winners of the award receive a free amber-hued beverage at the ARMA
annual conference...; funded by the sponsor.

Best regards, Steve
Steven D. Whitaker, CRM
Records Systems Manager; City of Reno

In the new sprinkler design that has proved remarkably effective, a  
company by the name of DACS has created a product called fluekeeper  
that ensures boxes leave a flu space at the side of compartment of  
records for each grouping of boxes 3x3x3 or 3x3 x2.
