A couple weeks back I posted a message here to get everyone's input on a new scanner. My old Microtek POS would never show that it was connected (even tho it was all the time), and became an unbearable source of frustration. Several here recommended Epson, among others, and I am now the

You said it Dean. Hallelujah!! I've said before, to all my friends, colleagues, clients, students, etc.: when technology works - it's great. When it doesn't - well … major PITA. Let's do hope it 'lasts'. Amen brother. L8R JD On Sep 28, 2007, at 4:47 PM, Dean M. Estabrook wrote:

I agree with David. HP's scanners are not remotely of the same quality as HP printers. You really want a scanner from a company that takes scanning seriously, like Epson. Cheers, - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY ___ Finale mailing
