Yep, I agree with you Kurt, this post has offered some good discussions on how the PHS records could be utilized in the digital environment. Just think what a Pontiac-based, not-for-profit organization could do with that theoretical $700,000 (or even $70,000) and the PHS microfilm library. We've explored just some of the possibilities thus far.
I also agree that this is a intriguing exercise in "what-if" business building. I was just trying to further illustrate the scope of the proposition being discussed here.
As large as this theoretical endeavor might appear to be, it does not compare to many small businesses that have been started on a shoestring and successfully built up over the span of decades into important enterprises.
I am not attempting to discourage this post in any way. I'm just throwing some cold hard figures against the wall to see how far they splat.
