Interesting points. It is 13x44, here's the link to the paper at buy.com:

On the Epson page:

You'll see the maximum printable area is 12.76 x 43.76, or 13x44 with a

As for a Mac vs. PC, I had to just laugh. On a Mac you'd only need 64K,
right, since they're just so powerful? There's nothing a Mac can do I can't
do with my PC. Nothing. I already edit digital video, so these scans don't
worry me. I have a p3-500 with 384mb of Ram. I think it will adequate.
We'll see.
