Or save yourself the time and expense by ordering a Kodak Photo CD. For about $1 per slide (plus $10 for the media), they'll scan and store 100 slides. There's 5 copies of each image, ranging from postage-stamp sized thumbnails to an 18MB file (3072x2048). Do not confuse Kodak Photo CD with the inferior Kodack "Picture CD" (640x480).
Then go read Greensun's

Too true: web logs both understate and overstate traffic.
AOL fetches every request with a different IP address. So a web page with 9 graphics counts as 10 hits (but only 1 page-view with Analog: great little program, I run it daily on several machines) - overstaing traffic.
But since AOL then caches the site, the next 1000 viewers aren't logged. Also, many companies run proxies, so you cannot distinguish a 1000 different people sharing one IP address from one person reloading your page 1000 times.
reason for manufacturers using APS-size sensors vs. 35mm
Larger arrays have a lower yield when manufactured since yield is inversely related to Area (A) and defect density (d, a function of the clean room and equipment) according to the equation.
Y=e^-(Ad)
Thus the smaller APS-sized sensors are less expensive to build, and the even smaller 2/3" even more so.
It's not necessarily up to you. Friends and my kids have sent me "greeting cards" and "invitations" to view their photos on-line. To do so, *they* entered my email address. I suspect my email becomes more valuable once I click on the link I'm sent (we've got a live one). Of course I could just ignore these, but that would deprive me of the effort of these well-meaning (if naive) friends.
My point is: it's easier said than done to not "put your email address online."

I like the 8mm format because blank MiniDVD tapes cost 4x more than Digital/Hi8 tapes. Also, the 8mm format has been well tested and is very reliable.
Having said that, Philip Greenspun likes MiniDVD. See his Buyer's Guide to Video Camcorders and Editing Systems
