If you want census data and don't want to wait, you can get it on diskette
from Public Brand Software in Indianapolis very cheaply.  The entire
country by county is about a dozen disks for $60, or if you just want
certain areas you can order the disks individually for $5 each.  New England
and New York, for example, are one disk.  You'll also want the master disk
which explains some of the coding and has an extract program, also for $5.
They appear only to have the latest 1980 census, but it sure is a lot of
stuff for $5.
