Does anyone have any experience with this product? Is it as good as Byte says? I lost a lot of faith in the judgment of the Byte reviewers when they hammered the Telebit TB+, which I think is one of the best computer products I have ever used. I would be interested in anyone's opinion, pro or con about TrueScan. Is it suitable for inputting data from the financial pages of a newspaper into ascii form? How about lab reports from hospitals? Or X-ray reports? Is it worth $3500? -- Richard Palmer 3939 Houma Blvd., #5, Metairie, LA 70006 504-888-5315 uunet!spike!rdp (uucp) rdp%spike.uucp@uunet.uu.net (internet)
