[NetBehaviour] The Super Duper 3 Dollar Duper

*The Super Duper 3 Dollar Duper*
a hack in progress

[Phil Jern] Is working on a hack to digitize his slides, not the way 
you're thinking.

I started this because I have about 2000 35mm slides and nearly that 
many color negatives I'd like to convert to digital images, and many of 
them are 30 years old or more and starting to deteriorate. My first 
attempt involved purchasing a slide scanner from 
the-store-that-must-not-be-named, but it took like 3 to 4 minutes to 
prescan and then scan to file, and then it usually botched the exposure 
or the color balance. I realized that I didn't want to spend the rest of 
my life scanning slides in this manner, so I started thinking about 
other solutions. I remembered there being slide duplicators for 35mm 
film cameras, but an internet search did not present me with one I 
thought was affordable and would work with a (non SLR) digital camera.
