I'm not so sure. I note someone posted something in December. I gather that scanning is not as popular as it used to be (maybe a lot of people have scanned in everything important to them), so some drop-off would be expected.
I've been off this board for a while because I went to Win 7 so my Nikon scanner wouldn't work. I've since found that both VueScan and SilverFast work with it under Win 7, so I'm getting back to it.
