I am thinking of purchasing a scanner and would be 
very gratefull for any information anyone might have.

If you are thinking of buying a scanner could you tell 
me what you want to do with it and what types you've 
found that will do the job.

If you have already bought a scanner could you tell me 
what you bought it for and wether it does the job.

I am intending to use a scanner for mainly line art but 
if the price difference is not too great I would get one 
that scanned text as well. There are several types of 
scanners as you may well be aware;
e.g. Hand scanners,
     Thunder scan,
     Flat-bed scanners,
     Colour scanners,
and they all require different software ??????

Your comments please.
