[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Wanted: Info on cheap scanners

I am looking at purchasing at cheap (no more than $500) scanner my PC.  I am
curious if anyone has any information or personal advice that might help me 
make a good choice.  Basically I have only looked at mail order catalogs and 
discount houses.  Character recognition software is a must, and it graphical
capabilities are interesting to me, but not as important.  I am using a 386SX
clone with 1MB RAM and VGA.  Please email any suggestion you might have.  I am
looking for information like speed, reliability, resolution, price, etc.


Thanks
