We are considering upgrading our scanner software for our HSD scanner.  In  
our opinion, Scan-X, which was bundled with our color scanner, sucks eggs,  
especially when dealing with faxes.  We contacted HSD about there new  
software but they didn't have much to say about it, except to give us a  
quote to upgrade.

Has anyone used this software before??  How does it handle scanning for  
faxes?  Scan-X always makes the damn page too large and we have to cut and  
past into WriteNow before we can fax what we scanned in.  On another note,  
our automatic sheet feeder doesn't work worth didly either with Scan-X.   
Hopefully PowerScan fixes this problem.  Is it worth upgrading to  
PowerScan or is there better scanner software out there??
