Tom or anyone -

Can anyone tell me how the lower cost scanners like the Acer or Minolta
or ? compare to getting a Picture CD done by Kodak?

At $8 a pop the money adds up on the picture CD's and I think the
quality is so-so.

I can see spending $300-400  ( or a bit more...) on a scanner if I can
get better quality than the Picture CD's
