Digital BW, The Print

Thank you all for your help.
The way I plan going is to buy a Nikon N/F 75 and scan the negatives 
shot on Tri X into Photoshop.
Todays question. I have kept all my negatives from 50 years ago - 
Black and White, shot on my Leica - and am really enjoying myself 
scanning them into Photoshop. I will eventually burn all the digital 
photos onto CD.
Does anyone else have a Nikon LS2000 35 mm scanner that could offer 
me any tips. At the moment scanning the negatives is frightfully  
slow.
I have scanned and printed the Users Manual, The Reference Manual and 
the Nikon LS 2000 Scanner Manual to a size I can read, but almost all 
of the information is for colour negatives or slides. There is 
precious little on Black and White negatives.
Is it true that my new Nikon N/F 75 was made in Thailand or China?
Yuk.
With the way the Australian Dollar is going I will be buying from 
America. I am going to Thomas Cook and exchanging our monopoly money 
for your greenbacks.
Thanks for all your help.
