John,
I'm a novice geneologist that has made several trips to the MD Archives. I
always waste a significant amount of my time trying to get pointed in "a" right
direction. The staff has always been friendly and helpful in getting me going
in a potentially fruitful direction...but when I find I need to branch out into
a few other directions...I have to wait around for a staff person to become
available to help get me going in that direction... Basically, I find it almost
impossible to do much self directed research; I'm usually frustrated; and I
generally come home feeling like I wasted half the day--it's user unfriendly.
Still, half of those days are productive, and I'm slowly plodding along.

Craig,
You mean that there are better microfilm reader that that? I thought getting a
headache and slowly going blind was just part of genealogy. :)

Peter
