[NFBF-L] needing recommendations

[Michael Russillo]

Hi Kathy, I have a Brother all-in-one machine; it works fine with 
OpenBook and the Docuscan program from Serotek which is now Pneuma 
Solutions; since you're using OpenBook ask someone from Freedom 
Scientific about a good machine that supports OpenBook; the Brother 
machines you can get from Amazon or if you need it immediately Staples 
or Office Depot stores may have Brother machines; hope this helps; thanks.


Yours truly, Peter
