Eventually we set up a new server with VMWare so we could separate all the insecure legacy sites onto their own instances and standardise our main server on a modern platform. Made it a lot easier. I certainly understand keeping it simple, but if I may I'd like to put in a good word for Python. If you should ever get the chance to start a new project from a clean slate and feel like exploring (and can afford the time) try it with Python. The language itself is a model of clarity and power and the support system around it (libraries, classes, docs, websites, services, etc.) is unprecedented. Its ability to support the creation of instant one-liners all the way up to large multilayered apps is eye-opening. I spent two years developing a Google App Engine hosted product in Python -- I had not written a line of Python before I started. Any new project I should ever undertake will most certainly be in Python. This is from someone who has developed with PHP since 2000, and done web sites in Bourne shell, PHP, Perl, and a scripting language peculiar to Borderware (now Watchguard). It's good stuff. :) -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Thanks Dave. I do enjoy scanning the old slides. But I'm only doing it at the moment because work is somewhat slow. So it's a mixed blessing.

Re: PESO - Kodachrome 1976
Nice. It's images like this that bring fond memories of our lifetimes. Keep scanning; be sure to print at least some for posterity and be sure to note on the back who the subjects were and when the pic was taken so someone three or four generations down the road will be able to see and know their ancestors. I have hundreds of pix from my grandfather's time of relatives unknown to me that would help trace my family history if only I knew who they were. -p On 3/20/2013 4:08 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: My wife and our first born in the backyard of our first house.

Re: PESO - Kodachrome 1976
Thanks Jack and Paul. Yes, I remember that day distinctly. It was a beautiful spring day. I printed another frame from the same roll many years ago, but the print was damaged in a flood. It was nice to find some transparencies from the same day. On Mar 20, 2013, at 5:32 PM, Jack Davis jdavi...@yahoo.com wrote: Such images must freshen memories. Treasures.

It's one of the great frustrations of family history research, unfortunately. Nice image, Paul. Reminds me that I need to get some of my own family slides scanned and properly recorded.

Re: PESO - Kodachrome 1976
Thanks Mark. I'm surprised at how well the V500 does on 35mm frames. Fine for web viewing. I haven't tried printing any yet, but some look plenty good for print. I've been scanning at 6400 dpi, 16 bit. I've also scanned some 6x7 negs at 6400. That yields 1.25 gig files that look splendid. but 3200 seems more than adequate for the medium format.
