But on the other hand you can produce very
interesting, distorted images by deliberately
twisting and turning the hand-held scanner as
you move it across the original.

The ScanMan wouldn't be my first choice for serious work, but I'd sure like to have 
one just for fun.
My experience with the ScanMan is limited to once
installing and configuring a PC version of the
package for former employer. That, I believe, did not
have a "connector/decoder box" but rather an ISA card
that the handheld part was connected to.
