JP>        Hello Jay, we were saying ! 

JP> JE> Jean, your message rang my bells. I have had a Logitech Scanman
JP> JE> Hand held Model 256 Gray scale scanner here for years - so many, in
JP> JE> fact, that it only goes up to Windows 3.1 !!! I thought I would never
JP> JE> find it in my messed up - cluttered up storage areas in my garage.
JP> JE> Never even opened the box! It doesn't appear to be usable with XP. The
JP> JE> Oldest Windows I have is 98SE.

JP>        I guess that mine is also a vintage device. I have not seen
JP>  any recently in eBay, I have had this one for 4 years maybe so it
JP>  would be good on 98, but why not try XP. I would send you the
JP>  floppies too.

JP> JE> This one made vertical scans of a page
JP> JE> and then stitched the scans together. The scanner is only 4" wide.

JP>        Same type here but I used it horizontaly, the scans merged
JP>  nicely and then I rotated the image to a normal view, it showed no
JP>  curved surface as if you took a digital picture.

JP> JE> Will your scanner work with XP or 98? If so, this would be a rather
JP> JE> long term project for me considering well over 900 pages. Could or
JP> JE> rather would you do without it for several months?

JP>        I said in my previous post that it was free to you. At the
JP>  moment, I am 400 + miles away. I hope that you can wait a week or
JP>  two.

Well, I've been contemplating this for several years now - I reckon a few
more weeks will not make any difference. :-) I truly appreciate the
offer. What nice people one meets in this conference!
Jay
