I was reading about the V700, it can do 12 slides at a time. I had an old HP
S20 which did ONE slide at a time. I did scan about a 1000 slides on it,
but it barely converted to XP and was DOA with Vista. I did do a lot of
"dust blowing" on the slides I have done and didn't have much of a dust
problem. I guess I should go through the thousands of slides that I have and
see how many I really think are worth scanning.

From what I read about the V500, it looked like you have to adjust each
slide before the scanning starts. Is that true? Can't you just load the
slides and let it scan them? I can always adjust them later.
