Dead Scanner

[Dr.J]

Well my scanner died but I think it is due
to my usb port being munched but my little
helpers last week,Anyway it's a Microtek flat
scanner and I tried to go to there U.S.
website but I don't work, I can how ever get
there pacific website but it's in Singapor.
So along with the new usb card, I'm looking
for a new scanner.

Any suggestions on a new scanner??

Price is no object!

But I have a custom built (by me)
PIII 933,
w/1gb of PC133 Kingston ram,
M/S Windows 2000 pro.
H/P printer,
SoundBlaster Live,
G~Force 3,
Kenwood Sub woofer/System,
Ect.

for scanners I tend to like the HP and Canon, both are quality scaners (from experience) the HPs are a bit cheaper, but the canons are a bit more durable they use prisims instede of mirrors.

hope that does shead some light.

The best scanner ever made (IMOHO) is the HP Scanjet 5300 (Cse or Cxi, doesn't matter). Its been discontinued, but if you searcharound you might find one for about $150 (amazon.com had some last I knew).
Stay away from the 4400 series, they suck. I bought one and kept it less than 24 hours.
The 4200 series was good, though.

6000 series is OK, 6300 is like the 5300 just is network ready.

I'm saving to get the Photosmart s20 scanner form HP. It rocks, but a hefty pricetag of $500 and only does3X5 photos, slides, and negatives.
