Booted Linux Mint 11 ( Gnome) and fired up Simple Scanner. Device found

I'm curious what you'll come up with
(I'm deferring any decision, I simply bought several Palms, so if need be,
I can keep using Palm

from what I've seen the expensive ones are very fast and very

I'll try that, thanks. I'm mainly just curious as to what the extra $300

Keep in mind that these things are just (electro)-mechanical devices.
Lubrication gets dry after a while. Most of the materials in these devices
are usually excellent quality. The metal or nylon doesn't usually wear
