I suggest you look at pro-lab-type scanning stations from Pakon, Konica, 
Sony, Kodak, which are capable of machine-gunning this rather large stack 
with little human intervention, so you can sit in the garden with a G&T 
counting the rest of your wad and looking at holiday brochures. Prices 
£10-15k-ish. Resolution in the 2,000-3,000dpi range AFAICR.

Alternatively, I'll do 'several hundred thousand' for a couple of quid 
each, money up front, and get my butler to post you the CD's from 
Mauritius <g>
