Scanners?

[Michael]

Either I am on the wrong list, nobody uses scanners on this list, or I 
am too stupid to look in the right place for the info I need.

In any case I need some direction on buying a flatbed scanner that will 
work with Ubuntu 7.10.  Can anyone point me to  a scanner that is known 
to work.  Or, if they all work let me know so I can go ahead and spend 
the money that's burning a hole in my pocket before I come to my 
senses.  :-)

Thanks 

Mike
