Hi Jerry,

I'd LOVE to see that article!  If the magazine has a URL, would you please
forward it to me, as well as the magazine month/year etc. so I can order a
copy.

I have always liked the SS4k.  I had one for a year or so, but my primary
scanner has been a Leaf 45.

Thanks for the info!

Austin
