I've been looking at a couple of the HP scanners with a document feed
option (they take 30 odd pages) and are supported by Mac OS-X meaning I
can scan directly into my laptop.

Assuming I get one (well Christmas is coming up!) what do people
recommend for scanning in terms of resolution, format etc? Basically I
want to scan lots of paper that I have in store so that I can throw the
originals away (note, these are not computer documentation, just things
like lecture notes that I haven't looked at in many years but want to
keep copies "just in case").
