Gotta agree with Joe here - the majority of the sub $100 scanners will do a
pretty good job for most personal needs (well....take that however you
want.)  

These guys http://www.microtek.com/product/product.htm actually have a great
website that talks about the basics of scanners, and what is really
important with regard to performance vs quality vs price (although their
website can be butt-ass slow sometimes.)  I bought one of their low-end
models because pcconnection.com was running a rebate deal that made it $39,
and it works like a dream for me.  I do wish I had waited and gotten a USB
model rather than parallel, since the USB ones are so much faster at sending
data back to the computer.

My $.02

I have a MusTek full page flatbed that I have had zero problems with.
Cost less than $100.  Not the best, but so far, I've never been unable to
do whatever I wanted with it...
