I have no idea how good they are though. Might also be worth going to a local Photo shop. We have a chain called Snappy Snaps over here and they stuff they do, apart from just printing your pics for you, is amazing. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

The only thing I could find on the web, other than companies that will convert them, was a suggestion to project the slide on the screen, and then take a photo of it. (in reply to Gwen)

For a dollar per slide, and five dollars for the disk, they'll convert them. Not a bad deal, at all. Thanks, Jay. :) (in reply to Gwen)
