	Hi, I have one but isn't much good if you want to transcribe a lot of details. It's great for looking at Members' interest fiche or fiche you only want a little from. In the end I bought a proper one. Gwynne

	Thank you Sarah. That sounds about what I want to spend. I didn't want to get anything too expensive or exotic because don't have a huge amount of spare time so it would probably only be used occasionally.
