Re: Electronic Scanning of documents

I know it's outside your price range, but I was so impressed with=20
these at my workplace, that I brought one for myself at home:

HP8100c - HP DigitalSender...

http://www.hpstore.hp.co.uk/item_pdf/ULnK3V6Q.pdf

at aroung =A33000 you do need to be able to afford to burn the money,=20
but it's so simple to scan everything - you don't need the PC to be=20
on - you just leave the digital sender on and it fires the scans out=20
as emails - read them when you want later - file them in IMAP folders=20
(on something like mailsnare.net) and you can get to them anywhere in=20
the world!

the keyboards good enough to enable you to enter two or three words=20
to make it clear what's on the scan and then just hit the green=20
button - just like a photo copier.

They might have discontinued it now - but they still do the 9100c -=20
it's a shame it's so expensive really - I think in the guts of it=20
it's just a linux box with an HP scanner bolted on top, with an hp=20
document feeder, rubber keyboard and lcd display bolted on top of that

But I love mine :)
