Boris,

Thanks for the advice, but I'm willing to slug it out with Windows and
replace the scanner first.  Since my latest laptop is a P3-650, I'm sure I
can't match it in the Mac line for the $400 that the scanner costs (if I
could then Apple would dominate the business).  I'm a pretty experienced PC
guy and, in the end, I suspect Acer's drivers are just not very good.  More
trouble-shooting this weekend though.

Thanks,

Tom
