I have an Epson free standing scanner that I got maybe 7 years ago that I've
never had trouble with. I've never bought an all-in-one.
The Epson software can be really slow and cumbersome. I actually find it a lot
easier to take pictures of documents with my camera. But I'm just being lazy,
using a tool that I know well instead of spending the time figuring out how to
make the scanner simple to use.

but new enough to be an Intel core 2 duel processor model. My iMac didn't come with
one either. The last Mac I had that had inferred remote capabilities was a 6400. And
while that had the capability, it didn't come with a remote. I found out it's
capabilities on accident when playing with a universal TV remote.
And on a completely different subject, has anyone had any luck with a
scanner on OS X? I have 3 and they all give me problems. 2 of them are all in
one devices. Everything works fine, except the scanner. I can get it to work a
few times then it craps out. By that I mean it won't recognize the scanner, or
the scanner won't recognize the computer. After sever restarts and reinstalls
of the scanner software it works again for a couple of times and the problems
start all over again. I have an HP all in one laser printer/scanner/copier. I
have an Agfa Snapscan 1212 and an HP inkjet all in one. Everything on the all
in ones work great, except the scanner. The Agfa scanner powers up when I
restart the computer, but doesn't seem to see it. All very frustrating.

Which OSX are you referring to?
In Leopard and Snow Leopard you use the native OSX Image Capture program to utilize

Using Image Capture? Sounds like an interesting way to use a scanner.
