  Good Afternoon,

  I just saw this article, and thought some of the group might find it
  interesting. Might this thin film material replace Mylar and microfilm
  someday? Experience says it will be a while!

  Regards,

  At some point in their lives, most people ask themselves:
  "Does my life have meaning?"
  Most teachers answer it emphatically:
  "Absolutely! YES!"
