[AT] OT... sort of

Ernie, I have not used one, but I do know they make some inexpensive USB 
35MM scanners. They work just like desktop scanners but are designed for 
negatives.  I also believe some of the desktop scanners can handle negatives 
as well.  Try Googling "USB 35mm scanner".

I have not tried what you are doing but I have another technical question.

A few years ago I lost a photo album of many pictures of many Samson Model M
tractors.  I do have some of my 35 mm negatives.  Does anyone know of a low
cost way of getting them developed and made into a jpg file?

Is there something I can buy to use with my printer and/or computer?

I don't want to take all of my negatives to a photo lab if I don't have to.

Thank you,

Ernie

I'm sitting here "ripping" my old albums to digital MP3 files and having a
blast. It got me to wondering if anyone on the list has ever done this?  I
have 100's of vinyl albums that I fear might one day get damaged, so I am
preserving the songs on the computer.

It's inexpensive and easy to do.  A $70 USB turntable and some free software
is all you need. They didn't have "She thinks my tractor's sexy" back when
vinyl was popular (please note the obligatory reference to tractors).

Anyone else tried or thinking of trying this?

Dick
