Hi Lee, something else your friend might want to check into if she
is doing a lot of databasing and organizing data are page scanners
and OCR software.  I saw and ad in the Computer shopper the
otherday for a page scanner for $395 (a real good price ) and for
one of the better low end OCR software packs called READRIGHT for
$399. I have sent off a post card to get more info on the scanner
and will let you know what I find out about how good and all the
specs on the scanner. If she someone who works with her that has
very good hand control maybe she can delegate out some of that
scanning work and then she can use the Scanman+ and those run about
$175. With the READRIGHT OCR software you can read any type text
even dot matrix printing and also without having to train the
scanner.
