If you have a lot to do, you're gonna want to spend some money on a good scanner, at least $400+. I had the pleasure of using a Epson FastFoto FF-680W. I was very impressed with the color correction. It brought back some color prints f

Hands down Apple products. They all work together well, last a good long time, and have good software coverage. iPads are the best for those that just need the internet. The MacBook Air is good enough for the advanced stuff, and reasonably
