While on the topic of scanners,

I have an old scanner - it's about 8 years old, an HP ScanJet 3C,
cost about $1400. Canadian - ouch.

anyway with the scanners out today that are 48 bit, does anyone know if my
old HP scanner which
is rated at 30 bit evne compares ?

This scanner was top of the line back then, and I would assume compares to
the HP scanners that are in the $600 range today,
and not the $199 specials at Futureshop, but, since the new ones are 48 bit,
what is this all about ?

Anyway hope somebody can shed some light on it.

Many of my friends have told me that today's scanners just blow away an
older scanner like mine, but the scans I can produce
still look like originals, - say if I scanned a page from a good quality
magasine or a good family portrait.....

Anyway 30 bit, vs 48 bit... etc.... is there really any difference ? or does
it come down to the actual quality of the optics in the scanner ?

Too complicated for me :-(

Thanks in advance,
Mark
