Has anyone else got one of these ? I'm looking at a bar-coding exercise for
a local charity and need a cheap reader.

If it's possible to get these to send codes to the keyboard rather than
serial port, this would make my programming task much easier.

How come bar code scanners are so expensive ? Is it just limited market ?
