[DM-MUG] Slide scanning

[Jon Engelhardt]

Chris, I have to laugh.  I don't know why but we pulled ALL of our  
slides out this afternoon and set up the projector and screen, what a  
hoot!  I can't believe I had that much hair, still have most of it  
but MUCH shorter and it seems to have changed color---brown was  
boring--gray is much more distinguished :)  And then there's the  
clothes---------good grief, the clothes of the '70's were truly  
something to behold.  Thanks for the info and offer, I was impressed  
with the Epson I saw this afternoon at Comp USA.  I'll let everyone  
know how the search goes once completed.
