I've sung praises for this well designed scanner before ... but this  
weekend I was once again floored by how well this scanner handled this  
super-thin 50-year-old Sears & Roebuck employee newsletter my mother  
collected and recently passed on to me :

The ScanSnap has a straight-thru-scan path that does not distort or  
damage even the most fragile paper while taking a single pass over the  
lamp.  If it would become jammed, the entire front panel opens wide.   
Simple and useful.

Having scanned over 1600 old photos into hi-res jpegs  and over 650  
business documents into text-readable PDFs .... with not one precious  
photo or vital paper document damaged ..... I can once again renew my  
endorsement of this great tool for the Macintosh.
