Excerpt:
LET SOMEONE ELSE SCAN YOUR PHOTOS
If this sounds like a giant headache, consider outsourcing your photo scanning to a paid service. For example, ScanMyPhotos.com scans. Your photos start at 16 cents apiece, depending on the scan quality you choose. Alternatively, the company can send you a box to fill up that it scans for a flat rate [including free 3-way S/H] for $145. According to ScanMyPhotos, the flat-rate box typically holds 1,800 photos.
