Dennis, I would bet that the FamilySearch volunteer indexers can get the 1940 indexed in 24 hours :) They have put other record collections out there and then announced it was important to get it done fast and if you didn't get logged in quick enough, all the batches were already taken!

I don't know if this is true, but I for one wouldn't mind paying a small fee for the convenience of accessing the digitized records from the convenience of my home. I used to pay $5 plus per FHL film and had to drive 12 miles each way to be able to view films once a week for only 2 hours with no ability to make a copy (except if I used my own digital camera). I used to pay for Ancestry.com too, but have recently dropped my subscription because I am finding enough info available for free on the web to keep me busy. I will probably re-up my subscription to Ancestry.com late 2012 once the 1940 U.S. Census starts to get indexed sometime next year.
