I have ~1000 paper pictures that I want to share online.  Please give
me a comparison of services that will scan my pictures.  I expect to
send off my prints and get back the originals as well as a CD
containing the digitized pictures.  It would be nice if the service
hosted the pictures for me, but it's not necessary.

For each service, I'd like to know the following:

* How much money per picture?  (Mine are 3.5"x5", 4"x6", and 5"x7".)
* How many days does scanning take?
* What resolution/quality is the digital picture?
* What format are the files?  (jpg, png, gif?)
* How big is each file? (e.g., 1 MB?)

Request for Question Clarification by chellphill-ga on 05 Apr 2004 07:58 PDT

Is it a requirement that you send off these pictures in order to be
scanned? The reason I ask is that if you wanted to speed up the
process a bit, it might be easier to take them to a place local to you
that could scan them for you. Plus you wouldn't have to worry about
your family heirlooms being lost/damaged in the mail.
If this is something you would be interested in, just let us know your
approximate location such as city and state or zip code.
Thanks,

Sending off the pictures is not a requirement.  I would love to be
able to drop the pictures off somewhere and pick up them up later.

I live in the 94043 zip code.
