Another easier way as a reminder to those that don't bother to search
www.deja.com for past posts on this topic is to throw the entire lot of
slides at any local photo print shop that has a digital printer (eg.
Noritsu), and simply have them scan it all onto CDs. It'll probably
cost you $0.50-1.00 per frame in bulk, but it's fast (they've got far
faster scanners that do ICE than we do), convenient (you can sleep while
the operator(s) works), and does the job well (they already have been
trained to do color correction, etc. to get you a nice scan).
All of this could have been done and finished by the time you spent
buying one scanner, running back, then getting another and trying to
figure it all out.

Another faster way?
Slide adapter attached to the lens of a compatible digital camera.
eg. Nikons often have slide adapters for many of their higher-end models.
Simply feed in slide, push the shutter button, eject and repeat.
This can get you images far faster than most other options by
yourself, and if the top-notch quality (ie. Minolta 5400 ICE'd scans at
top resolution + photoshop retouching & correction) isn't necessary,
then this is the fastest way available for home consumers.

Quite a few times this same thing has come up (eg. one guy was asking
about scanning in WWII photos or something like that), so there's many
good solutions that'll get you scans faster and better. |
