I'll have to disagree with the above. I don't believe that a microfilm
reader's maintenance costs are that high, unless it is a reader
printer. then yes that could be a possibility. Maintenance involves
cleaning the platens occasionally and replacing burned out bulbs.

as for computer maintenance let us not forget the downtime involved
with doing backups as well as defragging the harddrives
