Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Reality TV Formats

This is the way we are working with the EX. If you get the SxS adapter
that allows you to use cheap flash memory, you just paper clip the chip
to the client's file in your file cabinet. Instant archive, and more
stable than what I was doing - which was buying hard drives every time I
saw them on sale.
