Got the following of another site. The columnization for the matrix is kinda loopy but the comments may be useful. Cheers, Wayne

In light of rhe recent discussion of the various advantages of different databases, my son made this for me and I thought it might be helpful to others.
This is a matrix of my observations of the various on-line census data
bases I've been using. Use a non-proportional font to read or print.
