[SWLUG] Scanners

[Nick Condon]

I've decided it's time to get myself a scanner, but I know next to nothing. I 
understand I need to use SANE, and from what I can see, linux-compatibility 
in the scanner world is less than stellar.

So perhaps I need to tap the wisdom of the lug. For a cheap, linux-compatible, 
flatbed scanner: What are you all using? Any recommendations, suggestions, 
do-not-touch-with-a-barge-pole war stories?

thanks
