A: Mozilla's Firefox browser can save information you have previously typed into Web forms and search boxes. If you would rather it not do that, go to the Tools menu to the Options box and click the Privacy tab. Mac users can find the Privacy settings Preferences area of the Firefox application menu.
Once in the Privacy settings, uncheck the box next to "Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar" and then click OK.





Q: I have about 500 good Leica images on slides that I want to put on a CD or DVD. The options seem to range from $1 to $2 per slide for professional scanning to cheaper mail-in slide-transfer companies. Is there a good, reasonably priced scanner I can buy to do it myself?

A: Scanners that can convert 35 mm slides to digital images generally come in two types: regular flatbed scanners that have a slide-tray attachment, or a dedicated slide scanner. Of the two, flatbed scanners tend to be less expensive but slower, and some people find the color imagesproduced to be of lesser quality than using a more expensive, dedicated slide scanner. Scanners designed just to do slides and film negatives tend to cost at least $350 and can run well past $1,000.
Many flatbed scanners, especially those designed for scanning both prints and slides, come with a slide attachment that lets you scan up to four slides at a time. Major scanner manufacturers like Hewlett-Packard and Canon typically have models for $100 to $200 that can scan slides.
Sites like Photo.net (www.photo.net/ezshop/category) and Imaging Resource (www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN1.HTM) have reviews of different scanners available, and can provide more information. Attachments like the Nikon SF-210 Auto Slide Feeder can let you scan up to 50 slides at a time, but they cost $300 or more and may require the use of a specific scanner model.
Image-editing programs designed for home users, like Adobe Photoshop Elements or Apple's iPhoto, can also help enhance scanned slides and burn them to a disc once you get them on the computer.
