That's interesting.  I had some images that I wanted a better quality scan 
than I thought I could get from my original HP PhotoSmart so I sent the 
roll in for a Kodak PhotoCD scan and I didn't find the results to be any 
better than what I can do at home.  My main complaint had always been lack 
of detail in the dark shadow areas and "noise" patterns in the same dark 
areas.

Will all of this information be presented in a faq somewhere?  I've thought 
of getting a new slide scanner, preferably something with the digital ICE 
dust and scratch removal software.  The problem has been knowing which 
scanners would scan Realist mount slides without un-mounting them, or what 
physical modifications would be required.
