If you have any notions of working with professionals or doing work for companies I highly recommend that you learn to spell.

Go buy yourself an inexpensive dictionary. Use the spell checker in your usenet program. Use dictionary.com since you have internet access.

You might also buy yourself an English 101 textbook and learn proper grammar.

The better you are able to communicate the more others may be willing to work with you professionally.

I think 600 dpi is a good place to start but since I have a monster workstation with dual processors, large amounts of ram and several Seagate Barracuda scsi hard drives I scan at 1200 or better. Then take those and make basic mods in Photoshop like image size and the like and then save as a .psd file for archiving.

Many would say that 300 dpi is probably sufficient.
