A friend saw a demo of this at MacWorld; his comment was that it scanned
things nicely, but you had to move your hand v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y to get a
clear scan from it.  A very appealing product, though -- I've thought about
getting it myself...

                            a refining of the sense of truthfulness.  The
                            stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only
                            the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult
                            it is."
