NewTek has "DigiAdaptor" that supposedly lets you digitize images from
a VCR. Anyone have any idea how well it works?  Can it be used with *any* 
VCR? Or do you need a VCR that has good freeze frame in the first place?

I also saw "DigiDroid" advertised, again by NewTek --- a device to rotate
the RGB wheel automatically! First I cracked up (who'd pay $70 for
that?) but after digitizing about 20 pictures this past weekend I now
think it'd be a nice thing to have... Of course, you also need some
"Digi-" device to chase cats away while digitizing --- Do you know how
awful it is to digitize the R and the G and have your cat come and ruin the
scene before you digitize B?  >Grr< 8-)
