RE: BRMS question

Jim,

I have to agree with you.  The media pools work so well in BRMS.  When I 
originally brought up BRMS a couple of years ago, I was thinking the same as 
Jeff.  After seeing BRMS in action I changed my mind and went with a media 
pool.      I have one move policy and the reporting keeps me up to date on 
where things are and such; to include container management for offsite storage.

Regards,

Mike Shaw
