 I have tried the USB version of Agfa scanner, the stree price is around
 $129, and it was very easy to setup and works great. You just have to make
 sure that your laptop supports USB.

Hi....
In one of your messages, you mention to some one, to make sure that his <<LAP-
TOP>> suports <<USB>>.
What this abreviation means?
I'm trying to buy a nice lap-top for a  blind freind of mine in Portugal, and
i dont know what to buy, because there so many things on the market, that make
me confused, and also there is so many diferent hardware and software, that
also confuse me.
I dont care much about how much i have to spend, what i want is, to buy the
right piece of equipment, with the best things inside. I dont want to came
back with it from Portugal to upgrade equipment for a great while.
I apreciate your sugestions and comments.
Very truly yours
