The nice thing is that negatives generally don't fade if stored properly, just those old color prints do. My wife's parents bought totally into Polaroids and while the B&W Polaroids weren't bad and can be scanned the color ones don't scan worth a damn.
I'm scanning my slides at 4800 dpi and saving the images as a TIFF so the files are huge, about 30 MB each! I have an extra 1TB hard drive sitting around that I need to stick into my computer to store these as I scan them!
