John, I believe it. It was hard for me to give up paper at first, however, I am learning more and more to put it on the computer. And you are so right, these scanners are wonderful. I just found out the program for this scanner will even take things I have scanned from other scanners and crop them. The business scanner sounds wonderful!!
I am so serious about keeping everything digital I also bought one of those wand scanners to carry with me to the library. It is not only a wand scanner but also scrolling scanner in its base and can copy up to legal size documents. I can say I haven't done as much scanning as you however when I am done I will have. Again, you should see the awful stacks in my office!!!! Nora On Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 6:24 PM, John Robinson <[email protected]>wrote: > Nora, > > Aren't these scanners the ultimate.
