That same scanner is available just about continuously from multiple
vendors.

Barry,

I have been looking for a flatbed.  11x17 would be great for the old 
army manuals.  I'll look for one of those next month.  I have blown my 
descretionary funding for this month!

The sheet fed scanners seem to all have issues with scan speed causing 
the stretch and compression of the image.  I have not been impressed 
with any scans I have paid to have done.
