For anyone looking for a good scanner on a budget ......
The HP 5470C and 5490C are available on E-Bay cheap (sometimes under $10)
and these are very high quality high-end scanners that originally sold for
$300 to $500 not all that long ago (2002). They were PC Magazine's
"Editor's Choice" and they are very hard to beat, even today, for either
speed or quality.
I've got an Epson Expression 1680 with ADF that is particularly awesome.
Fast and reliable.
