You sound up-to-date on the graphics tech. Which makes me hope you can give
me some advice on which scanner to buy so I can incorporate black and white
images of, say, book jackets into our iris newsletter. Can you, I hope, I
hope?
Do you know about scanners? My main desire is *pretty* black and white
imagery. I do nothing in which the end printed product uses color.
I run a Quadra 305 Mac (60804 processor, 20 mg RAM), which is a GREAT
low-end machine, in conjunction with an HP Deskwriter 600 (not the color
model, not postscript either, and yet perfectly adequate for my purposes).
I can bring in whatever clip art I want via CD-ROM, and I've had decent
results (not thrilling) building solid black iris profiles in my antique
MacDraw II program. The newsletters are built in Quark Xpress 2.1 importing
text from Microsoft Word 5.
So, I run legacy software on an old platform.
I have plenty of hard disc and RAM, so I could eventually add Photoshop if
I really needed that (and if I can find a legacy version that will get
along with my dear old Quark).
Any advice? Do you know anything about the Scanmaker E3? It's only $200 in
MacWorld. Is it crud?
