Of course you saw them on sale, you just didn't look at the resolutions. I 
didn't either until I started shopping for a scanner. Your shops probably 
sell a basic all-in-one like the Canon Pixma MP610 for instance or the Epson 
Perfection line of flatbed scanners.

No but this explains why having lots of RAM and processing power is 
important for regular folks. And what about that 500 Mb movie file than 
anyone with a recent, cheap, entry-level digital camera can record and be 
willing to edit and email to grandma?
