Indeed, hold onto that scanner, if you can. As legal sized scanners aren't easy to get ahold of now. However, if you want a change, explore the Epson line the Epson 3170 and 4180 are excellent ideas, and if you can get your hands on a 1660 you will be cooking. heck if you can and have both you will be one of the most well equipt scanners, smile. And I will be majorily jealous. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

I am using an HP2. I get good scans with the scanner. Back when Open book 6 came out, I called FS and ask them if I should get a newer scanner. There answer was essentially, Hold on to that scanner as long as you can. If your HP3 works. stay with it. If Guido is listening though I would like his input. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Mangis" <suemangis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 8:32 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] scanners > Good afternoon, > > I am in the process of getting a new computer with windows XP professional. > I will be running Openbook 6 and Kurzweil 9.
