Wendell,
Following your startling revelation of a full house chat board and no room or means for expansion I post for us all to consider some Qs arising. No doubt that others will have their own Qs too.
I assume retaining this current system as an archive still requires current hardware to be retained and then switching to a new format would require procuring additional hard ware?
Some Qs arising….
1. Can you assess how many do historical searches and if so on what category?
2. Any chance of costing a new system or at least providing a ballpark guesstimate figure so that we can appreciate your dilemma?
3. Any chance if have new system of transferring land surveying only? and then closing down this site if need to use existing hardware set up.
4. What chance, now that you have runs on the board, of selling major sponsorship to a company in the surveying industry?
5. Would you consider talking to POB ?
6. Am sure others have Qs and comments…
