Dear Colleagues and Raymond C,
 
When the chips are down and all else fails you can always rely on Life
Expectancy - LE 500 Mr Super MICROFILM to save the day.
 
If the media had been a CD that the data was written to back in the mid
1980's, guess where you would be now with retrieving the information.
 
In the same position you are with the actual data you can at least read but
not print out to a report!
 
A French optician, Rene Dagron, was granted the first patent for microfilm
in 1859 so it is only 147 year young.
 
LONG LIVE MICROFILM!
 
Regards, Laurie
