I'm not sure how to go about that SKot, but I am definitely open to it :)

If you come to Oz, you are more than welcome to come chat all things film and Star Wars. By school I'm guessing you mean University, or you have a very young wife ;P

My partner is Canadian and she refers to her Uni work as school which always amuses the locals.

I'm on the hunt for a 2nd hand 10K upgrade, and a 16mm gate for it, but I'll get the thing here and working first! It will be an imposing addition to the man-cave, maybe I should order one of these decals for it: http://technabob.com/blog/2010/10/08/hal-9000-macbook-decal/

Yeah, my wife is younger than me...but not THAT young. ;)

Not that I know the first thing about these scanners, but looking at some documents for the Imagica Imager3000V (which I think is a similar system) seems to indicate you also need an SGI workstation to go with it, I assume to render out the images. Will you have to purchase something like that as well? I see they're available on eBay for around $200, which is not bad in the grand scheme of things...but it's yet another expense.
