I can't speak to the FB630U scanner, or what Canon told you, but I just
verified that I can run CanoScan Toolbox X with my LiDE 30 without using any
Adobe Photoshop product whatsoever. I can scan and then open the picture in
iPhoto. It can be run in classic, but I run it in OSX exclusively. In my
experience, Canon has done a fantastic job supporting OSX.
