Today's New York Times (Sunday, 4/15/01) carried an article about what's 
likely a unique way to file photos. The focus was the Bettmann Archive 
collection. The article's well worth a look, especially for folks interested 
in history and archiving (though maybe a bit of overkill for those of us 
wrestling with our own filing and storage issues).
