Hi Mark:

After I reading the article that you posted about Bill Pierce, and 
seeing that he was thinking of getting a new scanner for his large 
format film, I sent him the following email and thought that you might 
get a chuckle out of his fantasy.  It's mine as well.

Jim -

I've been scanning my 8x10 black and whites on an old
flatbed that doesn't even quite cover the full neg.
The results look good.  I'm taking a look at some the
Epson stuff just for the sheer fantasy of making
prints larger than the walls they could hang on.
