[CUBE] Scanner Choices

[Ken Johnson]

I've got a new HP4670 and love it.  It's reasonably fast (much faster 
than the SCSI Minolta film/neg scanner I use), and produces truly 
outstanding results.  I do not see the graining you're referring to, 
and the color balance is adjustable so not a problem.  It will scan 
very large images and stitch them together.  I recommend it.
