Moore's Law holds--still accurately, Buckell says--that the speed of computing chips doubles every 18 months, while storage capacity for hard drives doubles every 12 months, according to Kryder's Law.

The Bluffton Public Library Board of Trustees announces the receipt of a $1.6 million endowment gift from the Florence R. Duffield estate.
At the Aug. 28 regular board meeting the trustees acted to establish a permanent endowment fund and accepted the bequest.

Miss Duffield died on Sept. 29, 2011, at the age of 98. She retired in 1982 from a career spanning 47 years of teaching business at Bluffton High School.
