I've tried to find this subject as I'm sure the question has been asked before but was unable to find a suitable thread.

I'm considering acquiring a inexpensive UPC scanner (probably handheld).  And have a few questions. 

Will any windows based UPC scanner work?

Are there some that don't work well? 

What criteria do I use to select a scanner that will work with the current (ver 3) software?

Thanks

You can find some modified CueCat scanners on eBay for $3-$10 (search for 'Modified CueCat').  The cheaper ones are PS2 (which require you to have a PS2 keyboard attached to it to work properly.  The more pricey ones are USB.  I have been using one for years and love it.  It doesn't work properly on some numeric barcodes, but works just fine with UPC's.
