That's a great example of real life hardware interaction.

 I'm mostly interested in scanning photos, with a little bit of document
scanning. The price range that I'm looking at is somewhat fluid. I don't
purchase hardware very often, thus I don't feel too bad if I exceed
whatever budget I've made up.

Thanks again for sharing your scanning story with me.
