Mike,
Great idea. I have black and white pictures that are well over 100 years
old and still look good. Even have a few tin pictures. I've taking over a
thousand color pictures of my children growing up and yes they are fading and
the slides are turning colors. I never gave it a thought to scan them. I'm
going to get started right away. Thanks Mike and Cousin Bertha. Might I add,
it's a good idea to copy all the thing's you put on C/D's and Floppy disk
ever few years to new C/D's and Floppy Disk as they also go bad in time.
