New Toy On The Market

[Jerry Still]

TE,

The local (Ft Myers) newspaper did a column on the new scanner pin last week. They said it was hard to use, had to pull it down the document just right or it would "smear". They also said it "ate battery's" and they are the expensive hearing aid type.

Please don't shoot the messenger.

Everything old is new again. Remember the first scanners that were not flat beds? You did the same thing. Drug the thing down the page. I hated those things. They were so hard to get the speed right and consistent.

Daniel,
Tried your link. Here's what it says:

TravelScan 464M Kit for customer who own TravelScan 464 scanner for PC already.


This package includes a CD for Mac with FineReader 5.0 application and TravelScan 464M Mac driver snd doesn't include scanner

This is the $50 package. The scanner itself is listed for $179.

That is not the site that I purchased it from, but it is the brand scanner...

Try a search online for the scanner TravelMate...there are several sites that have it for right around $50...
