What's the scoop on the 35mm strip holder? Doesn't this scanner come with one of those, or does this add-on hold a longer strip or hold it better or what?

In spite of the risk re the rebate I'm almost ready to bite on one of these scanners. Does anyone who owns one (or another brand) have any last-minute advice, warnings, provisos, etc?

Don't give that SS4000+ back yet partner! I'd hold onto that doggie until the smoke clears. :-))

I'll bet that the rebates will be paid. Even technically we're unsecured creditors, I'd bet the dollar volume isn't much for the rebates, and it'd be a real bad PR move to stiff what customers you have left. .... But I could be wrong.

The WSJ today had an article discussing the fact that unfortunately Polaroid probably won't be able to sell itself in whole or pieces unless put through a Chapter 11 filing. They simply have too much debt to make any asset sales work. They've been selling real estate to pay their bills recently. This is NOT a good thing.
