DOH!

Speaking of which,  got an email today from Kaiser Bass...

They're releasing a 14MP slide/neg scanner for $150.

Ho-hum... but...

It doesn't need a computer. Saves JPEGs direct to an SD card.

Tempting... very tempting. Especially since my last scanner cost over three grand, and was nicked by a scummy ex-friend I tried to help.

ya on the money PP

:kez_15: 3k on a scanner..no wonder my $50 job is crap but it will have to do as I'm not selling my ute or take out a load to get one. If they want everyone to have all these things why do they make them so dear..$150 is a fair chunk these days, well for me it is

Perhaps Fulvio bought that one a while back when the price of technology was crazy.

My first Epson scanner cost me over $3k, my Canon laser was about $3.5k new (full duplex LBP8IIIR) ....... but this was all back in the early 90's. Now a laser can be had for under $100 ...... crazy!

lot of money to thro away

Yes AJ, the last 'roadside pickup' saw the end of the Laser printer. (Not until I had every screw, spring and circlip out of it though).
$3.5k was a LOT of money back then and as you say ..... to throw away .... :cray:

if it's out the front of my place it really isn't worth taking and any metal goes straight to the scrappy :good:
