One of the relatives I saw over Thanksgiving is an attorney. He was telling me all the ways I could leverage the internet to promote the church I serve. Most of it was what you’d expect (“start a blog”, “post your sermons as podcasts”) but the surprising one was this pitch he gave me for a Fujitsu ScanSnap. He basically shuffles paper for a living and the ScanSnap is one reason he can rack up so many billable hours.<\/p>\n

The ScanSnap (Mac people like me would want the -M version, e.g.<\/em>, the S510M<\/a>) is designed for unloading all the papers that clutter your life. It scans two sides at a time, 18 pages a minute, producing PDF<\/code>s of the result. It includes a full version of Adobe Acrobat<\/a> (though I’m not sure why; surely Fujitsu could have licensed Ghostscript<\/a> if all they needed was software to pack up a JPEG<\/code> into a PDF<\/code>) and Optical-Character Recognition software from ABBYY<\/a>. The only downside (check the positive reviews on Amazon) is the price. But still…<\/p>\n
