Default What is the best scanner to meet my needs?


I need to buy a scanner to meet these needs:

1. Can accept either USB 1.1 OR 2.0
2. In a price range from $75 to $99
3. The best combination of speed to scan business papers and receipts
into a database AND quality scanning for photos. Probably 2400 X 2400 DPI
optical.
4. Ability to scan transparent negatives and positives.
5. I have Paperport Deliuxe 9 to organize the scans into a database. I
also have Photoshop to do retouching and fixes to photos. Therefore it is
not necessary to have similar software bundled with the scanner.
6. I don't know if this is an option, but it would be good if I could
reduce the resolution to gain speed when I am scanning business papers, and
raise the resolution when scanning photos.

Can you suggest a scanner that would appear to meet my needs?

Any current model scanner selling a t $99.00 will do. Honest. There's
nothing to it.
