Attitude vs. reality
Authored by: robg on Oct 14, '01 02:44:34PM

The reality of the situation, for me and a number of others, is VueScan or a new scanner. Since VueScan works and is available now, that makes it an option I didn't have before.

Since Ed Hamrick wrote the software, he certainly has the right to make it available for whichever platforms he chooses.

If his attitude concerns you, and you're in the position I am, then the option is buy a new scanner. To save $50, though, I'll probably risk whatever 'attitude' he may or may not have (I didn't follow the ruckus earlier). After all, the software will work at least until Apple tweaks the OS again in a major way. I don't need any more features than it currently offers, so future upgrades aren't that relevant to me. So unless someone offers up a great FireWire scanner with good OS X drivers for under $100, I'm probably going to purchase a license. One less reason to boot back into OS 9!

Welp, my scanner cost considerably MORE than $100 so the shareware fee was a no-brainer.

Scanner costs...

Sorry, didn't mean to imply scanners were cheap ... just MY scanner! I have simple needs, so I need a simple scanner. Certainly for a more expensive scanner VueScan is a no brainer.
