Hi Rod,
I'm using the Epson 3490 scanner that Bob mentioned and can recommend
it highly for home use. It has good results in picture quality, the
Epson software is reasonably easy to use and the price isn't too bad
(I think it was about $230).
The only minor fault is that it can be a little slow scanning at high
res. I would have appreciated a faster scanner when I did hundreds of
slides recently but for that I would have had to fork out much more
money.
If you do go for an Epson I would suggest updating the software once
you've installed from the supplied disk.
Cheers,
Mike

Maybe I should get off my butt and buy scanner.
Is Paul's suggestion ok for basic stuff like scanning photos?

I notice it says USB (1.1 equivalent).
I will use it with iMac G5 10.4
