It makes sense to wait with a major electronics purchase until the initial bugs have been ironed out, although in the case of software on can presumably always download the latest version (and drivers) from the vendor's web site. I have tried Vuescan in the past but the lack of preview makes it a no-go for me. Nathan "Owen P.
