A side-note on scanners: I have a Fujitsu Scansnap 500 which when I transferred to the Mac became - ahem! -  a Scansnap 500M. I cannot praise it highly enough, and it’s quite hard to find substantive criticisms of the Scansnaps on the web (apart from Fujitsu’s irritating policy of trying to maintain a software barrier between the Windows and Macintosh models). They are fast, robust, reliable, simple to operate and small-footprinted. I have heard of people faced with a roomful of thousands of documents to scan who work their way through two or three Scansnaps—not because they wear out especially quickly but because with so many documents to scan at ?450 a shot a series of Scansnaps is still the most cost-effective way of tackling the task. Comes with OCR software, too.
