Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Photo scanners?

[Jason Youngquist <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

hey Jason (and others)

Found two options.

A "ScanJet 5500C Flatbed Scanner" (which according to Amazon.com user 
opinions - "it sucks") or "Epson Perfection 2480 Limited Edition Photo 
Flatbed Scanner with Feeder" which seems to have a lot better reviews.

keywords I used were "scanner photos feeder"
