How important is it to try to locate and retrieve notes that doctors have written on paper and misfiled? Life and death sometimes. Like I said, you're ignoring costs. Sure, sometimes it would save a life. How many lives? How much should we pay for each life saved? I realize that cost/benefit is irrelevant to true believers, but I still feel obligated to mention it. <g> Today's Ipod probably hold more than the rooms full of storage devices you worked on. When last I wrote a computer program for salary, that was true. It's also apples and oranges. You're not talking about designing a program for an Ipod or even a PC but a nationwide network or mixed hardware and software. If you knew anything at all, the very thought of it would boggle your mind. But since you don't, you can easily over-simplify to the point of dismissal. I will be gone from the face of this earth before they could build the system you envision. And by then whatever they build will be obsolete.
