I too have 1-2 complete sets as of the last factory updates and 2 that digress backwards with pulls from prior updates. A lot that is in it was never in CDROM.. Much I never even saw in Paper. When the Cleveland GE office closed I ended up in possession of theirs so I have what is probably 2 pretty complete sets....I just cannot throw them out either... We still have a lot of the paper datafiles that predated the microfiche....in storage... Cant bring myself to trash them either....:-)
Our local County Library organization keeps microfiche printers for re-printing old newspapers etc.... so for the time being I still have a tool to make them paper...as needed... and we still do have our optical reader too.. I too would love to see an archiving project as it seems such a waste to let them fall into history sitting on a shelf....
