Sam, have you made a deciscion on this yet? I have boxes and boxes of color slides from 1954 to 1980. I just started to go through them today and it's a disaster trying to load antiquated projectors and viewers and the like. I need to scan several hundred slides for my family. I have pictures of relatives my kids have never seen.

I would say that the easiest way to go about this is to approach a photo store that you trust and ask about getting them to scan them at a medium resolution onto CD's for you. See if they'll make a deal.
I know how long it took me to scan the ones I did to post here. Can you imagine doing them 4 at a time and assigning them to different folders? At least if they're all on CD's, you can print or post them at will.
