Umax Astra 2100U Flatbed Scanner

 

Back in 1999 I bought my first home computer. Stop laughing I was a late entry onto the information super highway, that's what you get when you're the tech support specialist for the Amish. Anyway it was one of those package deals with everything...

Pretty shiny colourful little Christmas present style icons complete with little ribbons and bows.

Customer service and product support it appears are oxymorons as far as UMAX is concerned.

Great Scans for a Great Price!

 

Inexpensive, easy to use, decent looking scans

No on/off switch, can't scan transparencies (what $40 scanner can?)

Great Scans for a Great Price!

 

I finally broke down and bought myself a scanner, not because I needed it, but because I fell to temptation and made an impulse purchase (and got mighty good deal, I might add)! I was actually browsing ubid.com (I'm not sure why because I've had...
