I'd like to purchase a Mac/PC cross-platform-compatible (with software

Have been looking seriously at Canon LiDE 30, but find myself 
concerned that
every review I read says something along the lines of "slow.  Slow.  
Oh yes,
Slow.  And did I forget to mention, SLOW!!!?!?!"

I'm really only looking for something I can use to spearhead a home
geneaology project and would like to spend $150 or less.
Slow is a user definition. I use an LIDE  Canon for everyday use, in an 
environment where I probably do not generate more than 10-12 scans a 
day. It's a great unit. No external power source needed. Works with 
everything we have here from Mac's to pee cees, and it's reasonably 
priced.

When I see a review about "Slow", I always wonder what the reviewer's 
speed definition is? It's certainly the speed equal of the HP scanner 
we replaced.
