Hi Allan,

Thanks for the reply.

Price range? I suppose it would be nice to get a scanner for under $300,
but the range can slide.

What kind? I'd like to support companies that support free software. I'd
like to get accurate scans of photos. Other than that, I'm not sure the
best models to look at.

Cheers,
