Thanks, Doug and Paul, for your responses.  I'll let you know what happens (I 
work at the museum on weekends, so tomorrow I'll try it).

Cool!  I'm doing some interesting work but, as of now, I'm the only 
computer-type geek in the place so a lot falls on me.  The museum's working 
members (i.e. those who show up regularly to do the work) tend to be old 
hardware-type geeks, as you might expect.  The good news is I'll be starting 
a user group here and using part of our new 87,000 square foot building for 
meetings.  Hopefully, I can interest a few to help out.  There's a butt-load 
of computer work to do and so far, I'm the only one who can.

I've currently got a set-up in my own studio with 2 turntables-- one for LPs 
and one for 78s.  We have a large collection which I'm transferring to CD so 
that we can rent out copies (selling is too complicated legally).  We're also 
going to be running Koha library software (http://www.koha.org) as well as 
Grand Salmar Station (http://www.salmar.com/gss/grandsalmar.html) for 
internal communications.  Eventually, we're going to be able to afford 
internet commectivity.  A phone would be nice.  Now every time I need 
something off the net, I have to go home, download it, then bring it back.  
Funny how spoiled you get with a broadband connection.
