Oh! I should have mentioned that the scans are a nice spiffy 18M. I was certainly pleased with that resolution.
But! I shall investigate scanners! Certainly they will do well for the web, which will allow me to put a few pictures up! Thank you! david -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.

There are a few of similar quality available today for less that $200. (That's US dollars). At the rate these people are charging you'd pay for the scanner in about 10-20 conversions. I'd get the scanner. You make no mention of resolution. Unless they are giving you scans of greater that 9MP you would do better with even the least expensive film scanner, or flat bed with a film adapter.
