(My old Mustek was still going strong, but I was forced to update to Windows 7, and the new computer doesn't get along with the old scanner. ) What's a good, no frills scanner that does line art well? I don't do anything fancy -- my art is basically black Sharpie on white paper. So far, I've tried the CanoScan LiDE 110, which was OK on photos but sucked on line art. It didn't even have a line art setting. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just something that does photos when I need it and my artwork. Any suggestions? Geek Watch

Your best bet might be to pop over to Amazon and look up a few key brands. See what other people like using. Consumersearch and Epinions might be some help as well. Hey, Kids!
