I remember in a recent Popular Mechanics some company invented a scanner that would scan books and magazines automaticly (yes it flipped the pages on it's own). They wanted it targeted at libraries so they could get rid of countless mags and such taking up shelf space. I remember the price tag being pretty high ($5,000ish) but in your case it might pay for itself!

Do you remember the name of that scanner company

I read it too, I think the company's name was:

Just out of curiosity, are you scanning them into PDFs or JPGs or what? And ho wmuch space is this taking up on your HDD? Sheesh. Must be huge.

Ohh, the insanity of it! There's no substitute for flipping through pages.

Do you look at each page to see if it scanned right or do you just scan and go to the next page?

True but the space it takes up is huge........... 15 years of magazines in a huge cabinet.

dang, I was thinking I had read this thread before, then I looked at the date, oh the memories...I just finished scanning about 25 rolls of pictures with my canon lide 20, took forever, mainly cause it wouldn't split the pictures right sometimes...just something to motivate you, good luck.
