Bill -- My rebate came yesterday and not a day too soon... my layoff date*
is Friday. After I move into my car and sell most of my shoes and clothes
I'll wind up thinning my Olympus stuff... <g>. I use my SprintScan with PS
Elements and it works just fine. You need to get *a lot* of memory to make
it usable, I increased my RAM from 128MB to 512MB (all my old Mac clone will
hold) and it was noticably more usable. Also, a large fast hard disk, as the
program uses the hard drive for 'scratch' space. You don't give up too much
with Elements versus the 'full' Photoshop program, and the cost is ~1/5
which will pay for the memory and fast disk drive.
