A couple of small points: I notice that none of the retailers linked to under "where to buy" actually seems to *have* this device. What they do have is a slide and negative scanner that looks identical to a noname/unbranded one I bought last year on sale for $79 or so. The one I have is terrible - fuzzy pictures, bad UI, error messages and documentation in Chinglish, and so on. Maybe it just *looks* the same... And on another curious matter - a friend and neighbour of mine has a registered trademark for ION for various uses in audio and video processing (his company produces hardware/software that Hollywood uses in film production). There would seem to be some overlap with what this ionaudio company does, though evidently ionaudio's stuff is all consumer grade. I'll have to ask him what he thinks. No, of course IANAL, I speak for no one but myself (and then only if authorized), the above is just musing and may or may not represent my actual opinions, etc. etc. Tony H. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
