I have ordered several of these pension files...and none were even close to a hundred pages....so I think their reasoning is wrong. I can see charging someone more if they have more than 10 or 20 pages. Gosh you can visit the place and look it up for free. And it is only 25 cents to copy the microfilm. Hope I have ordered all I need. LOL. Rotten for future genealogists....looks like genealogists of the future will need a tidy nest egg. Ava
