Title: not too shabby
Product review: I had specific needs: (1) a cheap scanner, that (2) did good scans, and (3)gave me custom control. I tried two major brands and found their scanning software lacking; I couldn't keep them from defaulting to the simple idiot-scan or automatically cropping and "fixing" the orientation of my scan materials (note to HP and Epson: those are nice features for some people, but please allow us to turn them off). The Microtek scanner has everything I was looking for, and so far has not let me down. The only downsides I can find are a slightly flimsy lid, a minor crash while i installed it on XP, and for some inexplicable reason it scans upside-down (which I got used to). If you want a scanner that gives you complete control, get this one and use it in expert mode.
