Dave, I use a Visioneer at home and at work. At home, it's the 8700. I
love it. It may be a little slow--never timed it exactly--but I don't
think so. It's scans are really always somewhere between almost excellent
on its worst day to nearly perfect.
At work, I use a 7200 or something like that. It's not quite as good, but
I got it on the day after Thanksgiving last year for $10. It's certainly
good enough for the relatively undemanding documents I ease through it.
But the 8700 really does an outstanding job.
Of course, you probably no longer care. Your original message was written
in May, and one of my Eudora filters hustled it out of my in-box and into a
ham radio/scanning mailbox--very different kind of scanners mentioned in
that mailbox. Needless to say, I've changed the filter.
So just in case you still care about my experience with Visioneer, I'd buy
another one. I've had the 8700 since Christmas 2001, and it's done some
heavy duty scanning over that period of time. It can go USB or parallel.
