Does anyone use a Mac?

I know this really isn't dog-related, but everyone here is so helpful...

I'm wondering if any of the Mac users out there have ever tried using two scanners on their computer. I've got an Epson multifunction, but I want to get a 35mm slide scanner, too - the Epson rep told me that there is no way I can install 2 different scanners (even if I don't want to use them at the same time) without having driver conflicts. Sounds like a load of bull to me, but I figured I'd ask anyway...

Well, it's kinda dog-related given I want to scan puppy photos!!! LOL

Thanks
Joanne

Its possible, as I have seen it done...but I can't help you much, as it is a Mac...I would call Mac and ask them about it.

Have a couple of Macs here but had a dispute with the last scanner. It's been.. disposed of, shall we say.... (insert evil laugh here) Haven't tried two scanners, though I believe it IS possible. Like Quincy said, call Apple.

Thanks... I think, though, that Apple will just end up telling me to contact Epson

Maybe I'll just bite the bullet - buy the second scanner and just see what happens.
