Title: This scanner is the worst peripheral device I have ever used.
Product review: Unfortunately, Amazon does not allow zero or negative star reviews, so a 1 star will have to do. I have never used a more infuriating, unreliable piece of garbage than this scanner. It works - for about five minutes, then completely stops sending and receiving data. Not only does it fail on a regular basis, it also makes horrible grinding and whirring noises to accompany its death throes. I have tried this scanner on multiple computers, and multiple platforms, (Ubuntu, WinXP, PCLinux OS) with no change in reliability. DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER!
