i have looked at this scanner it think (is it the cheapest canon scanner?)... my old one only works with Win95 :roll:

It's quite cool in that it is slim and nice to look at too :D

I think it also takes it's power from USB so it only has one lead... no need for a bulky adapter then :wink:

Thanks mate!

BTW - Do you have the buyer's guide for the 308/328 - it came about 6 months back I think?

thenumber1- Yep its the cheapest one they had. Payed 80$CDN for it. Thats 33BGP!!! But I checked UK prices for it and they were much higher :| You guys are getting ripped off big time in UK. But even the more expensive ones did not look as appealing as this one. Plus I dont need the super high specs for what Im using it.


sameerrao- I think I do. Let me check. Edit- No man sorry. I thought I did but I probably read it at the book store thats why I remember seeing it.

I dont use it when I scan either. I use the vertical stand when I dont scan and I take it off when I do. I just think it looks better when its in the vertical position. :mrgreen:
