I  know Canon and HP have pretty good products for scanning. The local
training organization here in the DC metro area uses Canon for their AT lab.

I can sympathize with you. It is difficult for others to only read the
mail and follow our instructions. A friend that was assisting me
thought her system of filing was better than what I asked her to do,
for my benefit. We had a heart to heart talk and worked it out,
unfortunately she is not available anymore. Right now there is no
system and it is very annoying.

I was thinking about ppurchasing a scanner this year, but am not sure
if they work very well. Does anyone use this method?
