Perhaps Jim Morris and I should modify his motion/my second to
indicate the purchase of a durable high-quality scanner suitable for
heavy use and multiple types of documents, and not specify the brand
or type. I agree with Jim Reilly's remarks, and especially his
comment -- "you get what you pay for".
