The Bureau of the Census sells the "Public Use Microdata Sample" data for
$175 per tape.

Anybody know a cheaper source, or a place in the San Francisco area that
will loan out tapes?

PS:  The data is encoded in ASCII format.  I wonder why they don't distribute
it in a more compressed format at a lower cost.
