Whew this topic is getting very heated!
As for the software, the AERC record keeping is so complex that no "off-the-shelf"
package would do an adequate job. The AERC hired a programmer who wrote a database
application for them, contract time was 1 year! This is a one time charge and is not
an annual fee as someone previously mentioned.

BTW Miki Morrisson did more than save money in the production of EN. She also
streamlined the office operation and save the AERC several thousand $$ per year.
It seems the AERC board has wants that they have no way to pay for! Many sound
frivolous
