A good post overall. There is enough information on the hardware as well as how to use it! I think I could proabably work a scanner after reading this! =)

That was a good post. I'm not so sure the last two links in front of the cut off (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/113412420/home?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 an http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/tech/scanner.html) should have been included but that's just me.

Stu said...

I am outraged!!! You have used my name next to a website which I did not post! This shatters my social reputation as a good (or at least average) poster. SHAME!!

Oh and I still don't agree your top site should be a top site because it is so specific to one type of scanner only.

I agree with with Vivian....good job Dan
