Judy,
I have a new Polaroid 4000 dpi (optical resolution) scanner and I love
it. I am using it with my G4. It is very easy to use and comes with a great
scanning program that dumps the scans into Photoshop. I regularly scan 35 mm
slides and make them into 13 x 19 inch prints. I used to use a Nikon Cool
Scan with a 2700 dpi optical resolution. It was OK but not as easy to use.
Also the G4 would crash every once in a while. I have never had any trouble
with the Polaroid and have had it since April 2002.
