Those who want to use the Ipswich Public Library archives can't just
walk in. They have to stop at the front desk, show their driver's license
and read the regulations - among them, no pens in the room. The
library clerk holds the driver's license in exchange for a key to the
climate-controlled room.

Two years ago, Bank of America Corp. found its paper consumption
spiraling out of control. Desktop printing costs were running at $70
million to $90 million a year, for everything from loan applications to
interoffice memos. The Charlotte, N.C., company counted 90,000
printers it owned -- one for every two employees.

They Are Sleuths Who Weigh Prose
By TOM McNICHOL
Published: September 23, 2004
THE firestorm over the memos that figured in the CBS News report on
President Bush's National Guard record featured a parade of expert document
examiners who weighed in on font types, proportional spacing and superscripts.
That kind of scrutiny is common enough that those who perform it have an
occupational name: questioned-document examiners.

Digital doesn't mean immortal
By Bob Mims
The Salt Lake Tribune
Driven by improved image quality and falling prices, digital cameras have all but supplanted
their film ancestors, with even professional graphic artists embracing the technology.
There is no stopping the digital juggernaut. But given time, will the memories it captures
fade away even faster than the snapshots of generations past?
Questions are arising over dependability and longevity of the new camera's most popular
long-term storage media. Long-accepted industry longevity estimates of 100, even 200
years recently have been dismissed as dizzyingly overoptimistic.

From Storage, a New Fashion
By MICHEL MARRIOTT
Published: September 23, 2004
TOWARD the end of the latest Tom Cruise thriller, "Collateral," the story's
action turns on the performance of a player new to most movie audiences.
For a suspense-charged moment Mr. Cruise and his co-star, Jamie Foxx, are
upstaged by a silvery finger of portable storage technology.
Advertisement In recent months, these slender solid-state memory chips - known by
many names, but officially U.S.B. flash drives - have increasingly
been seen blinking from the ports of computers in classrooms and libraries,
conference rooms and offices, coffee shops and airport lounges.
