Hi Don.
Just had to say I agree. I wouldn't pay the price for it. Heard that it's
going up too.
Thank God there are still public libraries with look-up rooms that don't
charge.

Again, this Thread seems to pop up (poop up) often and go on ad nausium. I
just went over to $$Ancestry.com$$ to look up something and noticed what
they said on their popup;
"Upgrade your account today and get instant access to the
world's largest online collection of family history records -700
million names in the U.S. and Canada. All for the low price of
$79.95! (billed annually)"

So this "billed annually" is a lie?

Well, the term "low price" may not be a lie but it's certainly not
consistant with the "$79.95" price! That outlandish!!!
