 I saw an ad somewhere not too long ago for a "film drive" from Kodak which
 was an acessory for a computer that develops APS film and (I think)
 uploads it to the computer.  It is pricey (several hundred bucks I
 think) but if you were going to use APS film and committed to taking a lot
 of pictures this might turn out to actually be cost effective over a long
 time, maybe you could make some money on the side developing friend's pix?

1.What is a film drive? 
The KODAK ADVANTIX Film Drive FD 300 is a desktop scanner designed to 
scan film in Advanced Photo System (APS) film cassettes. 
The name "film drive" indicates a new technological concept that uses 
the film cassette as an image storage device. Rather than take valuable 
space storing image data on the computer's hard drive, Zip, Jazz drives, 
or floppy drives, the `film drive' scans APS film, digitizes the image 
for current work, and the image data remains on the film in the 
cassette. 
2.What are the main features of the KODAK ADVANTIX Film Drive FD 300? 
This compact, motorized digital film scanner can scan Advanced Photo 
System film, such as KODAK ADVANTIX film, and display an image in under 
40 seconds. The Plug-and-Play feature makes setup a snap. All the 
software you need to create one-of-a-kind images is included.
