>From the internet reviews I have read the Canoscan 4000 is supposed to be a very good unit. I was torn between it and the Nikon several months ago but went with the Nikon for its ability to add a roll film adaptrer and a slide feeder. But for the price and what I have seen in the reviews if you do not need the ability to batch scan the Canon unit would be hard to beat.
Whatever computer you get, get one with a huge hard drive, and also get a CDRW drive. Those digital images fill up a hard drive very quickly. I am using an Old B&W Mac G3 350 with around 600 megs of ram on it. am soon to up grade it to a full gig of ram. I know the newer boxes would be faster, but honestly the only place where this setup seems slow is decoding the RAW files from my D-30. Oh if you do get the Nikon 4000ED do yourself a HUGE favor and get Vuescan for $40. It cuts scan time to under two minutes on a 60 meg scan, with the Nikon software it takes 5-6 minutes for each scan!
