I agree as well, my Agfa Snapscan 1212 has worked great these past 4-5 years. My brother's 3 year old Agfa has also worked for him flawlessly and he practically uses it every day. They're quick, they don't produce as much noise as some of the other scanners on the market, and the images come out quite well. I have a HP scanner at work that's just over a year old and it produces 3x the noise my Agfa does and seems to take a couple of minutes to warm up.
The Agfa Scanwise software for both OS 9 and under and OS X does the job, but you can't edit with it. Make sure you have some sort of image editing program. on 04/10/11 11:04 AM, Ron at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > On Monday, October 11, 2004, at 10:47 AM, victoria Duggan wrote: > >>> >>>> I am looking for the best economical scanner for photos/text >>>> >>>> Since there does not seem to be a Low End Scanner list, what do you >>>> folks >>>> think? >>> >>> Um, will you be using this with an older box (or maybe a newer one >>> with a >>> SCSI card)?
