Thought I'd chim in on the scanner conversation.
When I bought a new G4 (wahhoo!) a few months ago I did a lot of research on
flatbed scanners. About the ONLY 11x17 scanner I could find was the "Umax
PowerLook 2100XL" ($1,200 from CDW). A local historical society bought this
scanner and loves it, and so I bit the bullet, and bought it.
I soon found that it needs a "Scuzi" port, (but-never-fear, it even include a
"scuzi card" for those computers that didn't have one). The problems arose
when I learned that the new Macintosh G4 deeds a different "type II" card --
arghh... Suffice it to say after several LONG conversations with Umax tech
support their scanners will not work with most newer Macintosh computers, (they
also had a problem using OS X software as I recall). My words of adivce -- CALL
and talk with Unmax before making a purchase,
I returned the Umax and purchased a small inexpensive Canon LiDe -- I love
it. Wonderful sharp images, and even though its only 8.5 by 11, I and finding
it's just as easy pasting two-halves together in Photoshop when nessecary.
