It's a nice cheap scanner with a solid feel to it. I have one and the scans look nice, but there is one major drawback. It slow beyond belief. Its a parrallelport scanner and it takes about 11 minutes to make an scan on its highest (1770dpi) resolution. The software is not all that bad maybe a bit too Windows 3.1-ish. The PC the scanner is connected to is a 1GHz AMD Thunderbird with 512mb of memory, so thats is not the one which slows it down.
