- Does anybody have any experience with the Envisions 256 grayscale
- scanner?? The Halo software that comes with it was rated good in
- PC mag (I think), but I have not been able to find any good info
- about the scanner itself - it is supposed to compete with the
- Logitek scanman 256. The whole package - scanner, image s.w. and
- OCR sw sells for $199 in computer shopper. Any info would be
- appreciated.
