P3D CD's vs. Floppies

RE: Professional 400 x 600 Pixels scans looking OK.

>"But awful if you want to enlarge them a bit (or more) via a monitor to
see more detail on the shot. I've tried the floppy approach and went to
CD/analog approach for future shots. Depends on what you want from the
various systems available now. There'll be as many opinions as folks on
the list, I expect."

Whoops, Dan, forget what I said earlier by E-mail about taking everyone's
advise and having my film put on Kodak "CD" Disks instead of floppies.

Last trip it cost $12.10 to have 24 exposures put on a floppy.  When I
went back this afternoon with another roll I was told 24 exposures on a
CD would take 14-days and cost $21.40 plus tax. !!!  May as well say a
dollar a shot.  And please, no one pop up and say I can get a discount
with 36-exposure rolls -- who's gives a hoot!

Anyway, at a dollar a shot it seems a person could buy something, let's
say, like the Olympus D-600L SLR Digital camera with 3X zoom,  1280 x
1024 pixels, and all the other goodies, plus a HP Rewritable CD drive,
plus a slide-bar, plus you-name-it, and put their images (read anaglyphs)
on CD's themselves -- and come out even after 1,500 snaps.  

As a footnote: Since CDRW drives have become affordable we're seeing 
more and more ads on the web from persons selling anaglyphs on disk. . .
and, No, they're not "all" adult sites -- most of those require shutter
glasses and I don't have a pair.
