I can't hide my enthusiasm that the microfilm technology is FINALLY passing out of research. If you've done any historical research in the last 40 years, you've inevitably sat in front of one of these horrible machines. My primary experience occurred at the American Antiquarian Society about 8 years ago, where, I could view a lot of their archives on microfilm, but I was limited to ONLY 10 DIFFERENT COPIES of varying pages. What the heck was that about--I had to pay for them, so who cares if I wanted 70 copies or 5? I managed to make a "mistake" one day and make as many copies as I wanted--whew!
