         About two weeks ago we started using a HP ScanJet
         IIcx with a transparency adapter.  I am mostly
         scanning 4X5 negatives.  I'm very pleased with the
         results.  By scanning, reversing the polarity, and
         printing on our laser printer, researchers can now get
         inexpensive hard-copy positive images.  It will also
         allow us to scan images for the World Wide Web.
         Scans of 35mm slides have not been as beautiful.  I
         can e-mail you a scanned image if you wish.

Peter -- Thank you very much for your reply.  If it isn't too much trouble,
I would like to see the quality of a 4x5 scan and if you have one, what a
35mm scan looks like.  If it is a lot of trouble, don't worry about it.


Thanks again,


David
