I am fascinated that what was straight forward to me is vocabulary that has another life for other people. -----Original Message----- From: Janice Klein [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 1998 8:45 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: electronic identification labels The Atlanta Zoo is using micro-processors; this was discussed at the RC-AAM pre-conference workshop on "Object Marking" at the 1996 AAM Meeting in Atlanta.
