Anxious

Okay, everyone. I'm looking for suggestions for a new scanner. As much as I love mine, it's old, it doesn't know what DPI is, and all it can currently scan proficiently is text, and even then I can only use this one, horridly outdated program to run it, which crashes when I try and save or export almost anything I scan... so it's time for a new one, and this one can get hooked up to the old comp, Garm, downstairs.

Thing is, I'm not too up-to-date on scanner technology and browsing at local store is USELESS, as all most stores have is All-In-Ones. I do not need a printer. I do not need a fax machine. All I want is a scanner! ;__;

Problem is, most scanner, I realize, hate most art mediums such as colored pencils. I need a scanner that is good at picking up all the fine details in a picture and NOT eating them.

I'm hoping to not have to spend too much, but ANY suggestions are good. My current PC runs Windows XP, if that helps. Suggested brand names, and possibly specific models would help greatly.
