While I haven't used it myself, one Apple dealer has warned me to 
stay away from BDT. The saleman ordered a unit for a customer and said 
it jamed all the time. Another salesman (at another Apple dealership) 
commented on the sharp angle between the paper tray and the feed path,
but I'm not sure whether the second saleman has actual experience with 
one. Anyway, I decided to steer clear of that device. Too bad. It would 
be useful if it worked. 

Does anyone else out there have any experience with it?
