Personally, I was most impressed by the $595 software (+hardware?) package
(can't remember the company name offhand) that allows you to get *color*
scanned images from your black-and-white scanner.  How, you say?  Pretty
simply: they provide, along with the software package, 3 transparent primary
color filters (like colored cellophane) that you put on top of your color
image, one at a time.  After 3 scans, PRESTO: a color image on your MAC!  I
saw a live demo with an HP scanjet, and it looked good.

Observation: the MacConnection booth was a zoo - it looked like the trading
floor of the NYSE on a busy day!
