I have a scanner that i purchased in Feb of 2002

cost....... around 90 US

It gives exellent quality pics esp when scanning pics in quality magazines

but sometimes there are yellow diagonal lines.... maybe only faint,,,,,, but they impair the result

scanning pics on newsprint sometimes results in fine diagonal lines visible on the pic

It is still an exellent machine giving generally good results

However Im wondering....... has technology moved on....... is it worth upgrading? and if so what should I go for ?............ is there technology that can avoid these yellow lines etc ?

Thanks in advance for any advice,,,,,,,,Pete
