Momma don't take my Kodachrome away!

The nice thing is that negatives generally don't fade if stored properly, just those old color prints do. My wife's parents bought totally into Polaroids and while the B&W Polaroids weren't bad and can be scanned the color ones don't scan worth a damn.

I'm scanning my slides at 4800 dpi and saving the images as a TIFF so the files are huge, about 30 MB each! I have an extra 1TB hard drive sitting around that I need to stick into my computer to store these as I scan them!
