That's probably wise; I think that the law of dimishing returns might apply if an upgrade becomes necessary... or is that the Paradox of Strategy (Eduard Luttwak)?

... ramble, ramble... ;-)

The main reason for my upgrading to the Minolta was that the Canoscan did not come with decent support for the Mac (OSX). Add to that the problems of a slightly incompatible SCSI board in my G4 Mac as an alternative to the USB 1.1 connection with the Canoscan, and the Minolta's Firewire/USB2 started to look very attractive. And I managed to sell my Canoscan to a delightful German lady who met me under a water tower on the Great North Road (the A1) and the whole process was a pleasure... ;-)

Well, that means I'll have to add the price of a new computer to the
cost of the scanner  :>(
 I guess I'll stay with 2400
