Tom or others?
Having never left a roll uncut ... how do you store whole rolls of film?
What software do you use for keeping track of the individual images?
IRRC a magical number for windoze is 120G, any problems with larger
drives?
At $1/G, 500G is still $500 ... ouch, plus the time to scan ... bigger
ouch. I opted for PrintFile plastic sheets for archiving mounted slides
... thus roll film feeder didn't seem important. I've got mixed feelings
about ICE. If I don't leave the slides uncovered for any length of time
dust isn't much of a problem. When I have dusty slides I normally try to
brush/blow off almost all of it leaving almost nothing for ICE to
correct. It can be very time consuming to get a slide nearly dust free
8^( Yes ICE on the Min*lta works quite well but I prefer to avoid it
since I'm only scanning those that look promising to print at greater
than 8x10.
Gotta go to officemax .... thanks,

I'm not planning on storing scans on 1500 CDs though and I don't think
anyone that has a film scanner believes flat bed scanners to be nearly
as good (that's why they got the film scanner.)
