It is my understanding that the "Speed Date a View Camera" event was a big success at this year's VC Conference. In light of this, it might be nice to try and do a similar event but with scanners - get the major manufacturers to bring some scanner examples, and set them up on workstations along with different software drivers (Silverfast Ai, Vuescan, etc) so people can do test-drives as well. I know I will be in the market in the not-too-distant future for a new scanner, and I'm sure lots of other folks would appreciate the chance too, instead of having to run from CompUSA to Best Buy to their local camera store to a half-dozen websites to do some research and get some accurate answers about the capabilities of the hardware.
