(...) Epson Photo PC 750z. Can be purchased for under $350, includes charger, batteries, 8mb card, and other useless stuff. For another $40, you can buy the card reader, all you have to do is plug in the card to download. I recently got my 750, and (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
