Strange questions make the world a livelier place.  We have been using
plastic bands for a while--not long enough to say conclusively they're a
lot better, but enough to recommend them.  Anyone else have an opinion
on plastic bands?

Here's a product description and link:
Brightly colored polyurethane bands have proven themselves stronger
than traditional rubberbands in lab tests 3x in a row. Latex free band
won't deteriorate or discolor. Use to seal bags, group envelopes or hold
books and notebooks closed.

<<<<<Good morning, I've been asked to do some research on the lifespan
of a rubberband!  I have been a long-time lurker of the listserv and
when asked to do this "research" I thought of all of you right away.
Forgive me if my question seems strange.  As you know, rubberbands break
and turn into dried up looking worms after a while.  I'm wondering if
anyone knows of a type of rubberband or band that has a longer lifespan.
 Typically, records are stored within file folders but for the
occassional ones that are not I'm wondering if anyone has any
suggestions. (Other than imaging).>>>>>
