I picked it up from a local software store and paid about $200 for it. It includes PaintShow+, a support file for Windows, and an option to scan straight from dos (with no editing). PaintShow+ is almost identical to MacPaint and it requires a mouse or trakball to use. Seperately, Logitech sells an intelligent OCR for another $200. I don't have it. I just got the one off of Simtel 20 and it works fine.
