I'd pick an Epson and not one of those all-things-in-one models. Don't know what's currently available. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisa Leonardi To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 4:11 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] scanners Hi all. I'm finally going to get a scanner! It's going to be a Christmas present from my parents, but they want me to tell them which one to get. I will be using FineReader along with it, and was wondering which scanner will be best to use. Also, my current computer is a Windows 98 machine, but sometime I will be getting a new one, so I'll need something that will run on both. Any suggestions? Lisa
