Hey Gunner,

The threads here reminded me I needed to do a few (thousand) slides,
as they are starting to get mould. So today I bought a gadget that
was on sale at Staples for 59.92. Bar Code # 893811002642.

It's made by Innovative Technology (says " i t " in a circle on the
box ), and it's a Film & Slide Converter. Does 35MM slide, 35MM
colour roll negatives, and 35MM black & white roll negatives. Works
OK, but time consuming. Holds 4 slides at a time, and can suck the
data into its own memory, or a SD card, and then dumps either one
easily into the computer. Gonna be slow, but works well.

They had a slightly bigger and slightly more expensive one that will
scan photographs as well, but I have a flat bed that will do that
quite nicely already.

By the way, it's the KodaColour slides that are getting bad.
KodaChrome and Ektachrome seems fine so far.
