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, (probably on 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 3p?  Can we expect the new
32-bit apps to get more punch from the greater resolution?  Do you notice much
of a speed difference?  What are your other thoughts on this decision, and
what applications have you had good luck with?

TIA for any advice,

Dave
