Help needed please, should I ask the spotty faced youths at PC World (who are only working there because the can't remember to say "Do you want fries with this"? or should I ask the cat?

No decision to make there then!

I want to take a load of old colour / color negatives and add them to my photo collection on my NEW computer. Is there a way that I can place a negative in the scanner and command it to produce a colour image on the screen (in positive)? Is this built in to new systems?
Do I need to buy software, if so what would you guys recommend?

There may be a few pictures of whelks amongst them.

Regards Skipy
