[CUBE] what scanner? what digi camera, what printer

[abillups at mac.com]

I can second the opinion of Canon scanners and printers. Two years ago 
we got tired of the expensive Epson replacement cartridges at our 
school and after research, went for Canon. They have individual 
replacement cartridges, and they can be refilled. The individual tanks 
are about half the cost of the Epson ones. You just have to remember to 
remove the cartridges and store them in a plastic bag during the 
summer, so they won't dry out.
The price was somewhere around $79 for the education volume price. Our 
IT director was so impressed that he is recommending them for the other 
schools in the district.

I personally just bought a new Canon LiDE Scanner from the Apple Store 
and it has worked like a charm. It replaced my UMAX 1200U that I got 
with my original iMac, and I couldn't be happier. Came with OS X 
drivers and is very quick. $99.
