Hello all Can I ask is anyone has seen or indeed bought one of the few hand held fiche readers on the market that seem to be mainly sold by American companies? I was wondering about purchasing one but would like to know if they are any good and worth the outlay, they still seem pricey for very little? I dont particularly want to buy a large reader due to cost and bulk (my wife would complain about more clutter!) and I haven't come across any being thrown out by the companies discarding these old bits of kit. I only have a few fiches that I'd like to view at home if possible. Recommendations and opinions welcomed. Regards Jon Sheffield

Join your local Freecycle list and ask if anyone has one. I recommended this to someone and they were able to pick one up. Go to http://www.freecycle.org/ and type in the town where you live and you will find a list. It's like belonging to a Rootsweb list and is absolutely wonderful. I have given away a lot of things that were cluttering up my home and it feels good...I've also been given things.
