I had enough Amazon.com gift cards for Christmas to get a scanner. And everybody here had posted at one time or another really great suggestions about what scanners work really well for chips. I ended up getting an Epson Perfection V300 Photo. And I couldn't be happier with it! So I really want to thank everybody who has shared their scanner knowledge on this board. I greatly appreciated it.

And to show you how much happy I am with my new toy, I am posting the first picture taken of our dog. This is Daisy. She is a little over a year old now. A beautiful yellow lab my girlfriend and I are training to be a therapy dog so we can take her to the VA hospital and she can give some of our veterans a big fat slobbery kiss right on the face! In this picture, we had just gotten her that morning. She is MUCH larger now, but she still loves a good game of tug-of-war!
