- Scanners... For around $99-120 you can get a fairly hi-rez (800 dpi or better) colour handheld scanner. Tehy work pretty well, and you can also scan out of books and such, which you can't do with a p

- HP has a nice flatbed scanner that you can find for a bit less than $500. As with most computer equipment, I figure you get what you pay for. The scanner comes with software (Photoworks?). Now I need

- Some of us still use Macs. ;-). There may be similar shareware/freeware for Mac, but I'm not aware of them. Yes, but I typically have 20 or more scanned images of which I select maybe 7 to 10 for an
