I've been wondering about this for a while, and got reminded when I saw this:

If combining this with a scanner of the kind I'm talking about, I might be able to produce CDs from my negatives without ever having to let the data enter the PC - which would be a Good Thing. Well, I guess some people won't agree with me with this, but I think special-purpose devices like this are invariably easier to operate and more reliable than PCs or PC software. And of course, the PC harddrive is ultimately a bad place to store the pictures, so why not send them directly to a better place - like a CD?
I guess a scanner that would write data directly to a CD would be even better, though, if we're talking about negatives as input...
