[ Who do you suppose sent this one in? ] No Name Given (9806.29)Image Acquire Digital arts - The author says:"Digital Eyes is my site, and it is a commercial venture. It has been online since the first of March, and has been growing at a rate of about 10% per week. The subject is scanners and digital cameras. I have a database of specifications, a very few reviews (it took a while to get the hardware coming in, and then it takes time to evaluate and write), and a growing collection of user comments. The site is intended to be fast and informative rather than spectacular. I am concerned with navigation, I hope anyone can come in at any page and find everything, although I know there are some places that are not yet clear. I look forward to whatever comments anyone cares to share."Editor, Writer, Webmaster, etc.: G. Armour Van Horn (9806.29)
