Right now, it's not likely to exceed 20-25.  It's a system we hope to
"grow into". :-)

This is definitely in our plans - our administrative person has already
been tasked with securing an offsite lockbox for the purpose.  This is a
good enough reason to have the barcode reader for me.

Next question:  They want $250 for 300 barcode labels.  That seems
excessive.  Can these be made/obtained more reasonably?
