Ask Slashdot: How To Go Paperless At Home?

Posted by timothy on from the zippo-would-like-to-help dept.

THE_WELL_HUNG_OYSTER writes "Over the years, I've had numerous scanners equipped with automatic document feeders — and all of them jam or grab multiple pages at a time (thereby missing pages). Like you, I've got years of tax returns and legal documents to scan, but with these kinds of barriers, it would take months to scan everything. Enterprise-grade machines cost 5 figures. How do Slashdotters become paper-free?"

    Outsource....

    To a child (or a neighborhood child).

    Couple of bucks ($20?) per year to have them go through and scan a years worth of papers.

    Kids love making money.

    ROFL!

    You must be old.

    Kids are so fucking unmotivated and spoiled nowadays,
    you won't get shit from them. And if you do... the product
    will be shit.

    I can't even get those idiots to make a burger correctly,
    and you want them to make archival scans of documents
    that are 'important enough to have scans made of'.

    Haven't you seen that video on the tube yet? Dude splodes
    the laptop cause his worthless kid is mouthing off about
    how hard her fucking life is... and she HAS A FUCKING
    MAID!
