The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Last year I found some home movies from the 1990s that I sent to LegacyBox to be digitized.

Not cheap, and surprisingly slow, i.e. 2-3 months to get them back. But, when I did get the thumb drive back (along with the original tapes) they had done a really good job. I would use them again

Looks like they also do photographs: legacybox.com - Photo scanning service

The current "sale" has photo scanning at $160 for 250 photos (plus tacking on things like package tracking for another fifteen bucks or so). Like I said, not cheap and in fact bordering on avaricious.

(Note that LegacyBox always seems to be having one sale or another, hence the quotation marks. The current one is a "Valentine's Day Sale")

I've also scanned old family photos, especially B&W, on the home HP laser printer. They've turned out well, but I wouldn't want to try to do more than a few at a time

HTH
