membership renewal

You'd still have the problem of electronic stgorage, defragging,
compacting, putting them on CDs and stacking them, problems of
compatibility on playback, that is, if you wanted to play them back and
changed your computer system. Ever hear of Beta max? 16mm film, Polaroid
film--cost of transcription? Or, albumen prints? Might be worth a
discussion somewhere down the line.
'Green' doesn't solve this problem, merely moves it into the future or
another place-- from my point of view-- but again, might be worth
discussing. Do we have a librarian or museum curator hande. Thy deal with
these issues all the time.

Subject: [pbs] membership renewal
Is there any talk of PBS offering a cheaper, greener membership level?
One
where the newsletters/bulletins are emailed electronically rather than
printed, published, and mailed via USPS?
I ask because it's that time of year to renew my membership... and it'd be
really cool to have this option. Honestly speaking I don't save my
newsletters/bulletins from any society (except for the Aril Society's
yearbooks which are just too awesome for words). I used to try to save
everything, but it became a burden, and a downright mess in my household.
But if I had them electronically in PDF format, well that would be another
story (one with a happy ending!).
