I've been trying to get some quotes for microfilm and have had one company
which keeps pushing the prior claims of microfiche at me. Personally I
loathe the things as I'm always putting them in upside down, back to front
etc but would value advice on whether fiche are as long lasting as
microfilm, as this is the only criterion I have for keeping a particular
format. Is there in fact no difference? For example, I actually find I can
tear or lose fiche quite easily - not quite so easy to do with microfilm.
But maybe that's just me.
