I used one of those logitec scanners (borrowed from a friend)it worked
well, but never could get the colors right.
Look for a STORM scanner. They maks a small picture scanner that comes off
of the base and will scoot along the PF under it's own power. Real neet.
Only works under win 95/98 though, but PC's are cheap.....
E-bay usually under 20 bucks. OR get one of those full page HP scanners
that are clear. Set it on the PF and zap you got it.
I did a CV cabinet front in less than 20 minutes. Colors were awesome and
it stitches multiple pages together easily.
