I am interested in buying a handscanner to go along with
my PC (486 with Windows 3.1).  I think what I would like is
one that can scan lineart, grayscale, 8+ bit color.  Do any
such scanners exist?  Are they any good?  What kind of
software comes with them?
	I've also heard of using a grayscale scanner to scan 
color by using 3 separate color filters and software to build 
a color image from 3 grayscale scans.  Does this really work?
Is it a reasonable option to a color scanner?  I really won't
do much color scanning but when I do, I want the results to
look good.
