Ginger, I have no opinion on either HP or Epson scanners. My only question would be if the "dpi" scanning rate is a "true" rate, or interpolated. I have a very, very cheap scanner that was advertised as capable of 1440 dpi, but it will only do 720 dpi "real" scanning. The rest is "interpolated", but it still comes out fantastic. I'm sure there are users here who have used these scanners and can give you some clues. As to your resources being low, well..... as long as there are thousands of emails in the mailboxes, Eudora does "suck up" Resources. I'm in the process (again) of saving hundreds of emails to .txt files, so I can clean up, and even delete some mailboxes. It's very tempting to create folders and mailboxes for every subject, no matter how trivial. Just remember, the more folders, mailboxes, and emails Eudora has to load, the more Resources are used.

The thing about scanners is what is the final use you plan to use the scanned item for. Most modern scanners do a very good job for very little money. Here is the rub as I see it. 1. Photo work, for future printing of pix onto fine paper, scan at the maximum rate you can, using only optical dpi not interpolated dpi. Photoshop and PSP will interpolate very well if you need a larger file to print large prints. 2. Photo's to be used in web sites, and of no use long term. Scan at about 150 dpi only, just in case you want to make a small print. The web sites do very well at 72 dpi scan. 3. Documents that are only text, and line drawing, 150 dpi works well. For either printing or web site use. 4. Documents with seals and other graphics, best optical dpi you have. Some times there are letters or diagrams in the seal that you might want to read later. Second item. Wondering why several of you are having low resources with several mailboxes open. I leave three open with a total of over 3500 notes, to add to that, I have over 100 mailboxes in total, with over 6000 notes, to make it faster to cross check, without any problem with resources. I do have 128meg of ram, but that is the only thing that may be larger than most use. Jack

I have a bugger in my machine. I keep going to msconfig and UN clicking ATI launchpad and every other ATI item and hit apply, ok, restart.. AND the darned thing is always back.. LOLOL.. I'm telling you it is like the ads in Eudora.. I could not get rid of them for ever it seemed.. geesh.. g Mike & Ginger Woodcock/EagleRun Australian Shepherds [email protected] http://www.eaglerun1.com Ginger's WebDesign is here to help with your Web Needs, Give us a call, or email with your questions.
