My wife owns a mac, and I have a PC. We both use the same scanner. Since there is only one usb plug on the back of the scanner, we have to constantly swap the plug out when each one wants to use it. Is there a way to have both machines connected to the scanner at the same time? (I'm obviously not trying to access it from both machines at the same time, I'm just tired of swapping the cables)

Thanx in advance...
