Re: filmscanners: Polaroid 30 day return policy

David,

Thanks for the follow-up, but it is moot for my friend. (I would think this
is something Polaroid would want to address in general, though.) He found
the scanner at Camera World of Oregon for a better price, and they threw in
free overnight shipping. He has the unit now, but he can't play with it yet
because he accidently unplugged and trashed his boot drive. :-)
