USB scanner

[Peter Hiscocks]

May I ask why you refuse to buy from OTA? My experience with them has been
mixed, but on balance I continue to deal with them. But I'm interested in
hearing of other experiences.

We recently purchased a Canon LIDE, and it's thin and works just fine, but
we're currently using it under Windows, so I have no idea how it would play
under Linux.
