Well, last Saturday I saw a demo of the Quickie hand held image scanner
(competitor to Thunderscan) which was sold as a II(IIgs only?) scanner.  I was
wondering if anyone was developing software to translate the scanned images
into text files?  I am aware there are several such commercial packages on
the Mac but have been told that there isnt enough processing power in the
GS to do one - anyone want to make those folks liars?
