metal instead of printing it on flimsy paper?
At least half joking now, wouldn't it be even cooler to engrave it on
Yes and no. Metal does last longer; however, given my metalworking
skills, I would much rather bind a thousand pages per week in a format
that lasts for a few hundred years than add 1 plate per week to the
binding in a format that lasts for a few thousand years (not to
mention how much more it costs to use a metal that wouldn't easily
corrode). And my half-joking response: Why do you think that Mormon
abridged the records with so few details about the history if the
Nephites? I wouldn't want to hand engrave all that stuff either.
The Geek in me is kicking in - you should use one of those
laser-etchers. Then you wouldn't have to hand-engrave. :-)
