Thanks a lot for your $.02 worth!
well, we use a PC based system. We want to be able to scan the
photos and archive them on CD's. Now, our school wants to be able to
zoom in on certain photos to check out little details. Of course, to
be able to do that, we will need a computer of considerable power as
well.
Have you heard of a program called Live Picture by HSC interactive?
I'm trying to get data about it but to no avail. I've heard that
with it, you can zoom in on pictures and have the detail still come
out clearly.

Compression here is tricky. Are you talking about JPEG? Doesn't
that mean that there will be degradation of the picture (especially
when a zoom in is done). I thought of using photo CD but the Kodak
stores here have yet to offer that service (they're in the process of
offering the service).

LIKE you analogy! Haven't heard that story yet.
Thanks for you time! Hope to hear from you again.
