There is a Minolta 3000 in our building, but not under my control. Thus to be fair to Minolta, you should decide what you wish to accomplish and work with the vendor to determine if it can meet your needs. Thus far, I am very frustrated. It seems to be a good scanner, but the proprietary software is lousy, and the design is such that many things that we would like to scan are simply too large. It does a good job of making two-tone copies, but the bi-level tiff files it saves have proven useless to me. They cannot be opened in Photoshop, and we have failed to find any way that they can be used effectively on our web site. But again, determine your own needs and talk to Minolta. What it does it does well, but I can't figure out a use for it.Jon Reynolds Georgetown University
