 Isn't there some way the microfilm could be scanned? Somehow the thought
of simply typing all those thousands of words into a computer seems a giant
step backward. Not to mention a huge chunk of somebody's budget. Heck, I'm
out of work right now, I'll do it for five cents a stroke, your own name
for the bargain price of 40 cents! How do other people do this sort of
thing, anyway?
