Not too bad a price for a simple gray scale/line art scanner.

I had a plain Apple Scanner.  I used it for 18 months scanning line art for
use in our church's newletters, posters, bulletins, etc.  It worked wonder-
fully for that.  I use it for limited gray scale scanning.  Performed well.

Color - for $1250??  Don't think so.  The Apple Scanner is b+w only (course
there may always be add ons that allow for color scanning, but not on the
out of the box scanner).
