Ha...I warned you. That's why no computer should be without at LEAST 256 megs of RAM  It took 45 megs of ram to open that in the Gimp. I actually had to use some of my swap space! (384 megs of ram is hard for me to fill up!)
weedie's scan is the grandma-sized version  Not everything has to be scanned at 1200dpi :-D
I don't scale photos down. Uncompressed files rule! Heh...half a gig of robotics pictures  all 1280x1024 and up.
