Does anyone have any pointed comments, good or bad, about the basic
Apple scanner?  I've got a couple users who are facing the decision
to buy one on state contract [easy, cost approx. $1250] or try to
get another model on bids [much dreary paperwork, cost = ??].  Site-
specific problem is that to seek bids for an item thats ALSO on
state contract, you have to prove that the state contract item
can't meet your specs, so there would need to be some notable
feature the Apple scanner doesn't have but Brand X does.

Intended applications are fairly simple:  mostly monochrome and
limited gray-scale for scientific publications;  some color capacity
might be occasionally useful.
