I went to the listpic site just now, as linked in the post, and was able to see many postings. Are these not from CL? Do I have access to secret content? Was the data feed never pulled, or maybe it was reinstated?
Never been to listpic before, looks neat, but I still prefer the original. text is best.

In these cases, I use the eBay rent-it program (my words). And I did just that, last month, for this very thing. I bought a used Nikon Coolscan V for about $500. I have not started my project yet, I have about 1100 negatives to scan. When I am finished with my scanning (hopefully in 2 months time?), then I will sell the Coolscan scanner on ebay, for about $500. Sometimes you lose money, sometimes you gain money. This has worked out well for me on more than one occasion. I also plan to buy a powermac G5 for a grand, to do all the cpu work for this project, and then sell it when I'm done.

Here is a list of online places that will scan your negatives and slides, all of which I found while researching this last year. So, I don't know if they are still valid.
