In case you care, the JFK Library is sponsoring a real-time online reenactment of the Apollo 11 mission - complete with actual radio transmissions.

The URL is based on Kennedy's speech about how we choose the moon, not because it's easy, but because it's hard - or something like that.
I've used a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II scanner for negatives. It worked pretty well, came w/ software for dust correction (canned air works well too). It was cheaper to buy one of those and re-sell it on ebay when I was done than to get a professional place to scan my slides/negatives (it does both). I lent it out to a couple of friends and they thought it was easy to use also. It worked w/ Macs and PCs - I didn't check for Linux support.
If the negative was saved as a.bmp file, it created a 36 MB file - the.jpg version was 2 or 3 MB.
