What recommendations do you people in netland have for scanners?
I'm interested in the HPScanJetPlus, the Apple Scanner, and a Microtek.
The requirements are that it be a flatbed with possibility of adding
a document feeder.  The primary interest would be for OCR, but gray
scale images would also be used.

Software ease of use is also important.  I read the MacWorld articles
in the Feb 89 and May 89 issues about OCR and scanners, so I know that
the Apple is limited to 4 bits and no document feed, but it's supposed
to be easy to use.
