Hello - We have a budget of around $300.00 and want to purchase a slide scanner that will take high-resolution images, works with Windows XP Professional, is not hard to use, and will do what we tell it to rather than developing a mind of its own. Any recommendations or caveats cheerfully entertained. Many thanks, Anne ANNE T LANE, COLLECTIONS MANAGER THE CHARLOTTE MUSEUM OF HISTORY WHERE HISTORY HAS A HOME 3500 Shamrock Drive Charlotte NC 28215 tel 704-568-1774, ext 110 fax 704-566-1817 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> FEATURED EXHIBITS: Carolina Mountains - Photography of Margaret Morley Charlotte Stories - Our Collections, Your Treasures ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
