Same here.  Hasn't crashed AT ALL - and I've been using it very intensively
for two weeks or so (or is it three, time flies), along with browsing the
internet, writing emails, editing images.  About the only thing I don't do
at the same time as scanning is play games (though Quake 3 will run in a
window if I want).

Seconded!  All Nikon needs to do is to match the keyboard shortcuts for the
channels (Ctrl-¬, Ctrl-1, 2, 3 for the channels, plus up/down cursor keys
for numbers, combining with shift for jumps of 10 - and the real beaut that
PS supports, scrolling through numbers using the mouse wheel: Mac users eat
your hearts out, tee-hee).
