I take it a lot of us are giving the census site a bit of a "test" at
the moment.

Mark raises my fear at the moment in that it is a test site with obvious
bugs at the moment & I am a little cautious until its all stable about
using a credit card in case their system for handling them cannot cope
either so I think I will hang back. Has anyone got a voucher and used
it?

BTW if anyone wants to look at what the image system looks like without
having to pay, the Direct Search link lets you look at the pre-census
enumeration district details - for example enter Piece 5309 leaving
Folio & Page blank. The image quality is good.

Regards
Chris
