Thanks for the URLs. Even assuming I could get those prices up here,
(which I couldn't -- shipping, exchange, GST, PST, etc) the scanner
sells for $400 US. The processor you are speaking of is $228 US, the
extra memory is another $70 or so, so we are already up to about $300,
plus shipping. That's pretty close to buying the scanner again, as I
see it.
