Hi everybody, does anyone have experience with hand held type scanners
(4" wide strips etc).  Are they any good, are the pieces of a page
easily lined up or is it just not worth it.  What about cheap OCR
programs (are there any that work for a small price ?)
       How are the small scanners powdered ?  (want to use in US and
Australia, ie 240V 50Hz)  Do they run off the Mac or a seperate power
cube ?
                                       Thanks in advance,

                                        Michael.
