[CAUT] Benches

[Porritt, David]

You're right Don, "... it becomes a matter of time allocation - which activity is more
important, tracking benches or working on pianos?"  

I can have the nicest prepared piano in the world but if the pianist has to stand, or sit on a box to play it something is lost.  :-)

True, the RFID tags are getting very cheap.  It's the readers (at each
doorway?) and tracking infrastructure that would be the budget buster.
Still, a very cool idea.

My only practical suggestion is very clear marking of the bench
underneath with room # and / or piano # the bench belongs to.  When the
bench disappears, start being a police officer and really watching where
it goes and when.  Each person who is caught and admonished / chewed out
/ threatened with bodily harm will reduce the bench moving by one
person.

Then it becomes a matter of time allocation - which activity is more
important, tracking benches or working on pianos?
