At Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, computers are in wide use for things like word processing, spreadsheets/budgeting, and all kinds of data bases from tracking finances to donors & volunteers to herbarium and living garden spe cimens. Also, for data analysis of molecular data, ecological data, you name it! Communication via the Internet (such as we are doing now), and in the future for communicating with the general public and with other specialized constituencies. Lots of people will reply to your request, no doubt. Perhaps you should consider gathering this kind of data in a more systematic, focused way by sending out a list of more specific questions or survey. Good luck! -Richard Chute
