Yes, I saw OS X Tiger mentioned on one of my Amazon results. Does that mean
that this model won’t work with Windows machines?

I love the 3900 because it's Mac compatible. Best wishes with whatever scanner
you purchase. :-)
Thanks!

Hey Rick,
I’ve had my 3600 for six years and over 500 books. What are you doing to that
poor thing? <smile>
What about the 3900. I just looked on Amazon and there seem to be some of
those available, and for less than the few 3800 models they have left.

My faithful Plustek 3800 scanner of some years let me finish my book last
night.
But this morning, when going for page one of a new book.
She clattered and then stopped with a huge high whining sound.
I think it is mechanical. But who knows if anyone can or will fix it.
Repeated attempts and so on is a replicated no go.
I checked on Amazon and elsewhere, and it appears that this model may be
getting hard to find.
Or if available it is very very much scalper price prohibitive.
Do any of you know about finding a replacement Plustek 3800?
Or does someone know what model is the new and shiny and good performer for
our book scanning endeavors?
For now, I guess I am out of commission.
I just submitted today, this title:
Bob Wills: Hubbin’ It
A 1995 republication of a 1938 biography of the western swing music pioneer.
The author is Ruth Sheldon.
With an introduction by Charles R. Townsend, who wrote a larger biography on
Wills called San Antonio Rose.
Maybe my Plustek scanner just got tired of reading about Wills’ swing music.
<grin>
Thanks.
Rik
