OK - I'm following along here, I have the metal labels too (still in the package
while I figure this out) and I am very interested in the same thing as Nan...
Has anyone any experience with using an engraver? Does it last? Is it easy to
make legible, even for bi-focalists, like myself? Does it have a spell-check?
Remember the Dyno or Dynamo (?) little labelers? That would work, but ugh, what
a sight! The UCLA Botanic Garden has a METAL version of that - but still, it's
not something I would call anything better than utilitarian.
Nan, we could always get engraved plastic signage. I'll do that as soon as my
non-profit foundation status is approved (at the rate I'm going, the IRS ought
have no problem with me declaring myself a non-profit organization!)
