    "Terri Schiavo awoke from the dead early this morning. She broke out of the temporary morgue in the local Hospice Care building. Four nurses and 2 doctors were killed before the building was evacuated. Mrs. Schiavo's Husband remained behind, obviously in shock. Zombie-Schiavo ate her Husband's brains(sssss), and then proceeded to break out of the Hospice Building through the locked front doors. Police were standing by. While attempting to stop Zombie-Schiavo twelve officers were killed and five more were wounded. They are in critical condition, and are being held in the local ICU. Zombie-Schiavo was last seen shambling towards her parent's home, a trail of bodies and brains in her wake. She appears to be building a Zombie Army. To what end, we can only speculate. The National Guard has been called out, and the terror level raised to Yellow. President Bush was unavailable for comment."

    Nope, Canon (and others) make Book Scanners with actually flip and scan each page automatically. They can handle all sizes too.

    They are very expensive, but cool as hell.

    Nonsense. I put together solutions with high-speed scanners all the time. Some of our highest-end average 118ipm (Duplex) and have 1000pg ADFs.

    Also, you would generally split the load between 4-6 of these scanners for a job this big. The software is automated, and will OCR/Convert/Archive the file is one step.

    As a general rule, you can fit 10,000 b/w text pages in 1GB of storage.

    That's really funny. Here in NY, Adelphia is MORE expensive than Comcast (1 county over).

    However, I have Adelphia and I like it. But I would much rather see more competition.

    I think it would be brilliant to keep the current seasons shows in pay-per-view.

    Think about it, you catch show #10 of '24' and realize "Hey, this show looks damn cool!". Now, if you could PPV rent the firs nine shows of the season that you missed - wouldn't you?
