Has anyone noticed this?? Someone should probably get them posted on a
website if they can be reproduced to any reasonable degree.

I'm going to take a crack at bidding. I have access to fiche scanners.

There was along discussion on this list about a year ago about scanning microfiche but
I don't think anyone could make it work at the time. However there are now HIGH
resolution film scanners so it may be possible now. OTOH my buddy who is a professional
photographer has a new EXPENSIVE digital camera and could probably photograph these
directly.

One of the guys at the museum looked into it as he's got a huge stack of
DEC fiche; I can't remember what the cost per fiche was now but it was
sufficiently high that cost of getting the whole lot done added up
pretty quick. I believe he's asked the company to do a few samples
though, so we'll see what the quality's like. I believe they charged per
slide, rather than per fiche (presumably because the expense is in the
amount of printed output, rather than the number of input fiches)
I'll ask if he's got a list what exactly what DEC fiches he has. If
someone lives close to the museum on this side of the pond and has free
access to a fiche scanner, then do speak up :)

I recently inquired a few companies here in Holland. Most of them charge
EUR 0.05-0.15 per page! One company however claimed they could scan the
whole fiche at once, for EUR 1,25 per fiche. Still not cheap, but doable
IMHO.

My daughter just returned from a year in france. IIRC she said that the EURO is worth

Its actually 1.3 USD = 1 Eur.
All conversions can be easliy done on www.xe.com
Mind you, with 4 more years of GWB, the 2.4 might come true.

1 USD is worth .77 EURO, so 1 EURO is $1.30 or so, where did you come up
with $2.40, somebody got ripped.

I sure hope that that is what she GOT for her Euros,
NOT what she paid for them!
I would sell my Euros for $1.50 each.
BofA currently lists the Euro at $1.36
I don't think that it has EVER been much higher than that.

The actual rate jups around 1.29 to 1.30 slowly going higher.
For 2.40 it may take 2 more years under the shrub (which I
very much apreciate, it's like a huge off on all things US :).
At least that's what I did read in an article written by a
US economy prof.
I don't think that it has EVER been much higher
than that.
Not realy, the Euro touched 1.30 at one point about a half a
year ago (when that war started). I think in the old days,
before the Euro, the Mark once had a rate to the USD that
would be about 1.32.

Maybe I should be more specific. I have access to equipment designed to
scan microfiche and save as a file. Said file can also be ICR'd.
When the auction matures a little bit I'll be bidding. If the fiche
don't go too high in bids and I win, my intent is to scan/icr them and
build a website from the data. If there is too much concern about
copyrights then at least I'll have data that I can share in an easily
transported digital form.
