<DIV>Becky--Strickly off-list--I have occasional questions from our libraries about what sort of reader printers to purchase and I would be very interested in the make/model information on the reader printers that you have chosen.  Do they have repair warranties?  That is an especially tricky issue as our old machines age and die and no one will even try to service them . </DIV>

Hello, all. 
A little bit away from video.  We need to purchase some new microfilm reader printers and do have the equipment chosen.  However, now our director would like information on the future of microfilm since everything is going digital.  Our ASD head remembers seeing something online, possibly in a British source that said microfilm is going to be around for a long time, long after the digital material has deteriorated.  The article actually had someone holding up a cunieform tablet saying that the tablet would last longer than digitization.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  These reader printers we want are state of the art - clear and clean up fuzzy and faint film, and more.  Thanks in advance.
