N.W_ SUITE 300 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 (202) 775-0420 March 31, 1983 Mary Magdalenski Administrator Women's Bar Association 1819 H Street, N.W. Suite 300 Washington, D.C. 20036 Dear Mary: As you know, when we spoke on the phone today, I authorized payment of DHD's bill for $1,640.98. That amount includes: - Regular system usage during the month of Feb- ruary - Special system usage for directory production - Cost of $5 per page for generating the photo- typeset directory on special photographic paper Ann Rasenberger had told me that only 110 pages were pro- duced, not 140, and that Bill Ritchie of DHD had agreed to redo the code table pages without charge. I spoke with Bill today and he said that he did not charge us for computer processing or for his time in re-running the index pages of the directory. However, he did charge us for the photographic paper. He emph- asized that neither WBA nor DHD was entirely blameless in the need to rerun that portion of the directory, and I agreed that that is usually the case where a computer-related misunderstand- ing is involved. I do think DHD has been cooperative and that the billing in this instance is fair. February was a heavy usuage month, as you and others at the WBA office entered the backlog of name/address changes and new members that had accumulated since last August or September. As you can see from the invoice, our storage costs of $402.59 were substantial. In fact, storage alone ran over the estimated monthly charge of $350. I do expect monthly charges to be much lower in the next months after this period of high activity on the system is over. I understand that you will be taking our data off the more expensive storage (disk)and keeping it on tape except for once a week or so (after several transactions have accumulated and an update is warranted).
