Well, I've been searching and the lowest price I found was $127 but all the places that had that price didn't have it in stock. I found one for $139 and I'll get it if all else fails. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if either anyone can help me find it cheaper than $139 or if anyone can recommend something better. Maybe, there's one out there that originally costs more but that's on sale? Perhaps, the newer models? But I love how this one is portable and opens all the way, as I said. I've got a ton of scanners here but don't think any are Mac compatible. Wonder if I can use one of my serial scanners for now and then get that nice Lide600f?
