sigh.. The rock has been lifted (again) DOES ANYONE READ OLD POSTS HERE?????? Do the math. Scanning all of that fiche is man-centuries of work with all but the most expensive equipment. That's why it hasn't been done. Paul, sell it off however you see fit. I don't want any more of it, I have thousands of sheets already, and can't even get enough cycles to deal with the mountain of easy to scan paper filling my office, much less have time to set up the fiche scanner I bought two years ago.
