True indeed. What we'd like to see is the powers to be at Epson seeing a 
much, much better solution and instead of puting efforts into poor software 
(which they've done for years up to and including the Gray Balancer), they 
simply OEM the software or have the ability for ColorByte to sell enough 
copies so that instead of $495, it's $195 or maybe much less. 

The product manager for the 2200 spent a few hours seeing what *could* be 
output on the big brother of his product (the 9600). Some of us are working 
hard to try and convince a company that makes very good hardware and 
pretty poor software to stop spinning their wheels and take on an existing 
solution that works today. The forumla has worked with some 3rd party 
scanner driver companies. Epson bundles LaserSoft with it's scanners. 

I can only hope and dream...
