I can't say I understand you here. At least, I sure haven't found a way to keep my slides dust-free, and if I'm going to pay someone to scan them, I think the least I could expect is for them to brush the dang dust off before doing so, especially if they are claiming to be 'professional'. These weren't scanned at Walmart or the grocery store. Anyways, if you do know a way to have my slides tidy and clean all the time, please let me know! :) I'm starting to think dust simply grows on slides. rg2 On 1/4/08, Bong Manayon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I agree!
