I was there too, but never got close enough to the sign up sheet to sign it
during the meeting, and forgot to go back down later.  Mike
Bartman.  Candy, Steve Smith and some others can confirm that I was there
if necessary I expect.

We might want to look into a club laser printer...depending on what the
costs are running with whatever the current method is.  Laser printers are
as low as about $400 these days (for color...less for b&w), paper isn't
expensive at Costco by the case, and with a network-capable printer they
will work with pretty much anything (Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix, VMS, Amiga,
etc., etc.).  Toner can run a large percentage of the cost of the printer,
and so should be figured in when comparing costs, but it may be
cheaper...and certainly simpler for the secretary...to own one.  Just
something for "new business" next time maybe...if anyone else thinks it's
worth investigating.  What does the current method cost per page?  How many
pages per year average?

Didn't Kathy have some sort of suggestion in this regard?  ;-)
