Amen to both, John. I must confess, however, that Larry did say that the
fiche was expedient for capturing 'Journals' (or its predecessors) from back
to -- 1913? -- or the beginning of time, whichever occurred first. The paper
was getting funky, and re-inputting all that data would be cost-prohibitive.
I can see the merits of -some- of it. I also understand that using fiche for
archival purposes is not exactly cheap.
