Thanks for the heads-up, Jerry!

Here in the Florida Dept. of Education, we changed over our teacher records from hard-copies to storeage on a laser-disk format years ago. The teachers can still call in or write in and get copies of them made. This was done in order to speed up the time it took for the records technician to access the records, and also two or more users can access the same record at the same time, if need be. Basically, access time went from minutes (or longer, if someone else was using the records), to mere seconds. Also, digital copies are kept off-site for secure storage.
So, even after the digital conversion, you can still get a copy of your records if you want them. But, I'd still like to have the originals myself.
