Heck it will never last!
We have a photogrammetic scanner made by Vexcel (bought later by Microsoft) that uses Bash as the operation system. It is designed for 9x9 aerial negatives. Like any decent scanner it has to be calibrated and it is all done with bash commands. The scanner sits in the shipping crate unused as film is dead. If I had a the room I would set it up and scan regular slides and negatives as it is a fantastic scanner that cost 70 grand new.
