Having recently moved to digital I too have slides to scan (15,000 -

I see many very big hard drives in your future.



Why? Dump them all to DVD.


I think the point was that with any half-way decent filing system,
they're already stored on an archival material. Instead of scanning the
entire back catalog, inventory them so you know which image is where,
and scan them only when you need to retrieve the image.
