What kind of barcode readers did you use, Dana?

I agree that barcodes still have advantages for certain applications.

Suzy,

A new exhibit we're working on with the Harvard Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics and Jeff Kennedy Assoc will open at the Boston Museum of
Science in late June. We're using custom printed on demand bar code cards,
not magnetic cards but they provide the same experience for the visitor that
mag cards and RFID tags do and they're much less expensive than either of
the 2 other options.

Contact me off list if you'd like more info.
