Take 100 of your negatives to a photo shop who can turn it into a Kodak
PhotoCD. It's an easy process and takes (I think) about a week. Depending on
your OS you can then use Kodak-supplied tools (Mac/Wintel) or various free
software (xphotocd) to process the images.

This is a much better solution than scanning it yourself, as you'll never be
able to scan it as good as they can (the PhotoCD process uses clean rooms,
the images are very high resolution, etc).
