Re: What is the best PC to run Nikon 4000 Scanner?

[Robert Damon <robert.damon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have that scanner and I'm pleased with it. How open are you to alternative
computer environments? I have it attached to a Mac (DP 800 MHz, Monitor:
LaCie ElectroBlue III 22", ec.). Works great. No problems setting it up --
just plugged it in (Firewire is standard on this Mac), installed the
software, and I was up and running.

Best of luck,

Bob Damon
