Re: (OT) Scanning Slides

Going digital is a great idea, unfortunately i've not got $5000 to spare to
pick up a nice camera. I've already purchased the slide film, though i do
have a bunch of negative film too. hopefully i will be able to persuade the
security people to hand check my bag. i do plan on using the slide film, so
the question remains, where can i get it scanned?

cheers,

Steve

--- In fact, rock, rather than being an example of how freedom can be
achieved within the capitalist structure, is
     an example of how capitalism can, almost without a conscious effort,
deceive those whom it oppresses...So
     effective has the rock industry been in encouraging the spirit of
optimistic youth take-over that rock's truly
     hard political edge, it's constant exploration of the varieties of
youthful frustration, has been ignored
     and softened. --Michael Lydon
