Scanner suggestions

[Gene Merritt <bsirius@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm in a quandry about flatbed acanners. I know there were postings regarding this in the past, but I'm now in a place of real dissatisfaction with my current 'cheapo'  $79 flatbed Umax.

It's the old problem of lack of funds yet the need for high quality...sigh. I've boxes (100s) of 8x10 b&w photos from my ten year stint as a news photog. Plus a ton of color slides. All of these mostly from the 1980s.

I've been putting these into this G4 Mac via  that 'crummy' scanner and the PrimeFilm 1800i film scanner. I believe it was Fred who, earlier said something about these looking great on the computer but printed out...ugh! I now know that's true. 

Any suggestions on various scanners to handle this large amount of material. One of the probs is I'm now disabled, and $$$ is also a consideration.

Thanx in advance!

Gene
