Calm down Michael... ;-)
If you've been following this thread, you'll know that the guy's budget
was about 1/10th the price of the scanner you are discussing. Lynn was
obviously discussing flatbed scanners in terms of consumer product,
which right now are at 1200 dpi in the high end.
The UMAX Power Look 3000 sells for about $6000. I would like to correct
one error I made in my original response to this thread. The Agfa 2500
is not in the $3000 range. It is over $4000.
