I don't know of any studies on scanner life span. You may be able to
check a few of the top scanner maker's web sites for specs, which can
help a little. I would think a five-year replacement plan would be a
good one, though. Look also to see how often major improvements are
introduced and how

Depends on the scanner. A $49 scanner is not durable. A $ scanner
will probably last until it is technically obsolete. If you spend $
to buy 200 $49 scanners and discard one every month, they will outlast

I beleive that Apple TV is similar to TIVO which is a type of DVR.
No, Apple TV is much less than it could or should be. It just plays files
you have on disk. It has no recording functions. For that you will have
to go elsewhere.
Tom you are right and you are wrong.
There are all different types of scanners.
A $49.00 scanner might be just right for the once a quarter, maybe
once a month scanner.
But it will not be right for an institution that must scan a
multitude of documents, small books etc. all the time. They
The apple tv does not also put out 720p in any meaningful way...meaning any

Tivo and other DVRs get their scheduling information from services
like Tribune. If the programmer doesn't give them updating
