I'm not asking for point&click (I'm a CLI guy myself, thank you very
much) but something a bit more convenient than having to pull out a
microfiche reader and then figure out someway to transfer the data from a
photograph to a computer. BTW, how does that get accomplished?

I agree it's a great long term solution if you don't have to fall back on
it very often.
