Anyone have a easy (cheap) way to convert slides to jpegs? I've got a ton of old slides from the late 40's-50's.

 

Not sure what you mean by 'cheap' but you might check one of the box stores in your area that has a photo center,(Walmart, Walgreen Drugs, etc.), and look for a unit that converts slides & 35mm negatives. I got one because I have thousands of kodachrome and other slides that the wife's grandparents took from the 30s-50s. Mine is an ION omni-scan, cost about $75.

Men seemed to have never left home without wearing a hat back in the day.

 

70 years from now, people will say: Men seemed to have never left home without wearing a tat back in the day. Women, too.

 

Yeah, a bit OT for this site but I saw this the other day. Yeah, I know, not the same one.

 

And they will also say "what are the white sticks hanging out of their mouths for ?"
