There's a *much* cheaper way to do it.

Konica will put a whole roll of film on disk ( 28 exposures )
for $4 plus the usual cost of developing.  All you do is
check the box marked "PC Picture Show".

The disk you get back includes Windows software,
so you can export your pix to any Windows app.

The images you get from Konica are 640 x 480 x 256 colors, 
highly compressed to about 50 k apiece.  They look about as 
good as what you'd get from a video capture card, with ample
resolution for newsletters or ad copy.
