[TriLUG] USB barcode scanners

[Andrew Perrin]

Gang,

For years I've been using a barcode scanner that attaches as a keyboard 
"wedge" so the scanned barcode just shows up as keyboard typing.

Now I've got a new computer whose keyboard is USB.  Any thoughts on if 
it's possible to get an (affordable) barcode scanner that can work easily 
with it?

Thanks.
