Does anybody have any experience with the Envisions 256 grayscale
scanner?? The Halo software that comes with it was rated good in 
PC mag (I think), but I have not been able to find any good info
about the scanner itself - it is supposed to compete with the 
Logitek scanman 256.  The whole package - scanner, image s.w. and 
OCR sw sells for $199 in computer shopper.  Any info would be 
appreciated.
