> Those of us in the Office of Information Services and Technology at the

>         Do we have the largest museum database

>         (a) in the world?
>         (b) in North America?
>         (c) in New England?
>         (d) at Harvard?
>
>         Our database is 1.6 million records and weighs in at 1.6 GB.
