While it may pay for itself over time, it won't pay for your time
unless you're really very careful with billing.
Try to process 2000 digital images, as opposed to 40 rolls of chromes.
The chromes can be done in a couple of hours, while your doing
something else. The digital, ball and chain to the computer, is a
different story.
It's a false saving when one's time is placed into the equation.
