[OM] Note-taking, was Bokeh! Or is it Hokey?

I have decided that there is no point in my having my slides mounted.   
I shall have them in strips from now on.

I am really glad that I take notes.  I was persuaded to tidy my cellar  
today, and I found where I had hidden some slide films from 1996 (in a  
projector magazine).  I had to use my notes to annotate some of the  
scans of the films I carried out today – while tidying up the cellar of  
course.

Moose, did you find an editor for EXIF Camera Data?
