Yep, as Jim said, the results from a flatbed scanner isn't to hot, and slide scanners are pretty price still- $1000 and up, typically. Anyway, another good option is to get Kodak to put them on a Photo CD, most all US photo places can do that, I don't know how it works in the UK, typically this cost anout a buck a slide plus $4 for the CD, which can hold 100 slides. Kodak scan it at a bunch of resolutions, the best of which is 3072 x 2048 pixels, there is also a "Pro" version available with double that resolution (which also cost a lot more per slide.) Kodak does a pretty good job on the scans, BTW.
