[or-roots] the history of microfilm

[Kith-n-Kin]

Thank you, Layne!

I really enjoyed this bit of history. I had no idea of the age of this
technology. 

Only thing I didn't see (my age perhaps), was some discussion of the
stability of the "plasticky" film. 

Certainly that has been a problem (the film, and the emulsion on the film)
in the motion picture industry.
