I'm considering purchase of either an HP3p or 3c scanner.  I can afford the
3c, but only want to pay the extra $ if the difference for my uses are
significant.  Occasionally, I'll scan in pictures and art, but the bulk of my
scanning work should be in OCR, document storage, (Pagekeeper 2.0), "copying"
with the photocopy utility, etc.  I'm using win 3.1, OS/2 Warp's win-os2, and
either Win95 or NT, moving increasingly to one of the latter as 32-bit win
apps get released.

Thus the question:  do those of you using the 600 dpi, speedier 3c notice a
significant improvement in these areas over the 3c?  What are your other
thoughts on this decision, and what applications have you had good luck with?

TIA for any advice,

Dave
