<< I'm very surprised that everyone in the Midwest is having so much trouble getting their scanner. I live in Valley View, OH (Cleveland suburb), and I got my scanner 4 days ago even though it wasn't slated to arrive until the 8th. Don't know where they sent it from, though. >>
I'm kinda surprised too. I live in Michigan, and mine was shipped from Ohio! Re: the scanner. For those of you who didn't get in on the deal, if you want this scanner for your own personal use, I would not recommend it. I have 7 scanners, and this one produces the poorest quality scans out of any of them. Unless you are on a *real* tight budget, I would pass on this one. Just my 2¢.
