what software is bundled with
the scanner.
I think Polaroid may be cheaper and may be bundling Silverfast with the
scanner. It changes fairly frequently. I have the Microtek since it
was
less expensive at the time.

There is a dealer in southwest US with a few Microtek 4000T scanners going
for $900 each.
They are a pc dealer that bought out a closing photo/pc store. Then units
are new in factory sealed cartons.
I just got one. Looks great.

The normal LE to v6.0 upgrade price is $499.
But there is a special price of $299 for a limited time.
(No good down under though.)
You're right about the $199 price from v5.5 to v6.0.
Is this getting clearer or more confusing?
Michael,
I remember using PhotoFlo 36 years ago. But I was only 10.
And I remember how easily film (either negs or slides) scratched, even as I

I think you're absolutely right about CD's having more format longevity than

Looks like they'd be faster than CD's or DVD's. But the cost per gigabyte
