I would appreciate recommendations on scanners for the NeXT. In my mind, positive features in a scanner are: * Convenient use for Fax, which implies a sheet feeder * Easy retargeting to other systems (Sun and Mac particularly) Of course its also a plus if it will handle high resolution and color, but not at a great premium at cost. -- Ken Mandelberg | km@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Emory University | {rutgers,gatech}!emory!km UUCP Dept of Math and CS | km@emory.bitnet NON-DOMAIN BITNET Atlanta, GA 30322 | Phone: (404) 727-7963

I have been using the HSD Scan-X Professional for a couple months now. It has been a joy to use and HSD is a great company to deal with. HSD manufactures several scanners, and all of them can be found in the Fall 1990 NeXT product catalogue. :-) Joe jchin@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca -- ***************** "Happiness is a warm gun ...
