I Could Use A Bit Of Non-Comics Help

* does anyone have direct experience moving pictures from classic slide-machine slides to a jpeg or file that can be utilized on-line? I already know there are machines you can buy to scan them, and I know there are sites out there that will teach you how to build some sort of light-manipulating cone to put on a flat scanner. I don't think I want to buy a machine just for 400 or so slides, and building a cone seems like it's an invitation to give myself a blood-pressure related stroke. I was hoping someone had more direct, practical experience with one of those options or simply getting them done by someone else. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

* this is for those of you that travel: can I really expect to pay over $600 from various cities west of the Mississippi to Toronto for TCAF? This seems like an absurd price to me by about 50 percent -- I flew to Rome in 2008 for $130 more -- but anywhere I look it seems to come in somewhere between $600-$700. I'd really like to go to that show, but I don't want to spend the weekend feeling ripped off. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you've made this trip before and have any insight to share!
