don't get the document feeders like the others say, they're made for documents, not photos.
get yourself an epson perfection 3490 or 3590. THe difference betwee the two is about 50 dollars, one has an automatic FILM FEEDER. I didn't think i needed a film feeder so i went with the 3490. Both can take a "Multi Photo / Business Card Feeder" ~$150. But epson doesn't want you to know the 3490 takes the multi photo, just so you can order the more expensive one. But it's in the manual on their support site.
The automatic photo feeder holds about 25. it does jam once in a while, but usually it's because the photos don't line up correctly. I scan my photos at 300dpi, each takes about 35 secs. The only annoying thing is it comes out reverse, so you might want to sort it backwards.
all in all it's pretty decent. the only bad thing is the dust problem. For some reason they don't make the higher end scanners with feeders. I think these higher end use some system to detect dust and remove it from the picture. So in the end, I occasionally remove dust from the flat bed and any noticeable ones from the photos.
HP had a similar solution but it seems to be off the market now and they rather you buy some very expensive solution instead.
the other thing is, you can also use the flatbed for multiple photos, it autocrops the pictures. throw 3-5 photos on the flatbed and it'll automatically find the pictures. I had some issues with it cropping too much, but it's still quicker than 1 by 1.
sounds to me that you're running exchange 5.5 since you "would like to move to active directory"
i still think domino in the end is the best overall enterprise email system. it is a very good alternative to exchange and very scalable. you can easily put all 6k users on 2 boxes if you wanted to (i'd probably put them on 3 minimum though). in the long run it's cheaper than most solutions and requires very little administration. at least with domino you can get good 3rd party addons (blackberry, faxing etc). also the power of lotus notes databases. ibm isn't going anywhere soon either.
also their web mail works great, if you like you can use lotus notes or even outlook
if you wanted an a VPN replacement, either go the exchange route with RPC over http or get some SSLVPN solution.
Lawsuit Reveals an Open BlackBerry Canadian bank submits intercepted PIN messages as evidence against ex-execs
News Story by Jaikumar Vijayan
JANUARY 17, 2005 (COMPUTERWORLD) - Private messages exchanged using corporate BlackBerry wireless devices may not be quite so private after all. In fact, even the so-called PIN messages that many users thought were untraceable can be logged. The lack of BlackBerry privacy became clear in a lawsuit filed in Toronto last week by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC). The bank submitted scores of BlackBerry e-mails and PIN messages as evidence that several former executives took confidential information from the company and tried to recruit others while they were still employees of the bank.
OWA is still very limited, you should check out the iNotes client from Lotus. I don't like Notes, but it's very nice. It's pretty much a real Notes client.
Probably the main reason why Microsoft invests a lot of money into making good keyboards and mice and other accessories is that it's just another place for them to advertise their logo on your desk.

nothing new, other websites have done this before flickr, such as http://smugmug.com/
