I want to buy one. I have a new XP CP I have to still hook up along
with my new speakers. So, I need a scanner that is simple to use.
What do they do exactly ??....

1) Take a document, picture or whatever, put on scanner , scanner will scan and you will have your 'hard copy' as 'soft copy' a file you can send to friends.
2)simply, copy a document or picture.
3)The clever bit... Say you have a page of a book which is 'text', or a table as hard copy, you can scan, then use the 'Optical Character Resolution' (software that comes with scanner) , this will make an editable file as word or excel. Saves so much 'copy typing.
Personally, thought I'd never use one, but now I'd be lost without.

a scanner is basically a photo copier that reproduces an image for you to store.
Its good for all those old photo's that you have that need cleaning up or documentation that is in hard copy (on a piece of paper) to send via email or fax.
Oh and you can also copy an image of your butt and send it to your boss when you tell him to shove his job.

What a scanner does is it copies whatever you want into the computer.
