Janice,

How are their prices...I think UMI is pretty high, but maybe I am being
unrealistic. I think they wanted something like $80. per roll and the film was
not for a very long time period. I wanted to try to index some newspapers for
a county in MI at the time, but decided the cost was too steep.
