I used the ICE in the NikkonScan SW.  It seemed to do a good job of dust
removal.  Is there some reason why using ICE is not the best idea?  Do I
lose something?  I know the negs were dusty.... even directly back from the
lab....

Yes, the TIFFs work fine.... just the desire to work with the best I can... 

BTW, I scanned at 1000ppi for this stuff.  If I want to print out, I can
scan higher, then do the final manipulations.  At least, that is my present
plan.

I never upgraded to version two, so maybe this problem is solved, but
Lightroom version 1 is the pits when it comes to retouching dust.
Nikon scanners are cruel when it comes to catching a lot of detail ...
dust and scratches. It seems to work well with dust that gets glued to
a sensor, but scanning usually ends up with a _lot_ of extra work
spotting out dust. In fact, the greatest argument for me, if I were
doing color, for digital is just this: freedom from dust and
scratches. Sure, sensors get dirty too, but nothing like negatives.
