Hi,

Some of you may have seen previous advertising for these items.  I have
since spoken to a few people and I think that these are realistic prices.

- Macintosh external 2400bps modem (fine for e-mail, news, terminal) with
full fax send and receive (at 9600bps), easy-to-use fax software, etc. 
$40 or best offer.  Excellent condition, works well.

- Hand-held black and white scanner for IBM PC compatibles.  400dpi, uses
internal 8-bit ISA card for interface.  Comes with scanning software and
basic OCR.  One person I tried had problems setting this up, but I
successfully set it up and used it on a 386 SX25 myself.  Good for
scanning signatures or diagrams for fax.  Good condition, in box with
original disks etc.  $40 or best offer.

Having been through the process of troubleshooting for others, I must say
that I'd like to just sell these and be done with them.  If you'd like one
or both, please e-mail me directly.  I'm not interested in "holier than
thou" newsgroup discussions on price - if you want to offer less, then do
so.  I bought the modem secondhand for $70 at the start of the year, and
the scanner for $100 (new) ten months ago, though it was old stock.

Hope they meet someone's needs.
