my sis found a page cutter in a dumpster LOL. She gave
it to me for nothing. Dumpster diving is kewell :). I
managed to slice and dice a textbook in under 5
minutes. Scanning it is yet to be done though.
 You often have to consider the increased
accessibility (and availabilty) of an electronic
version of something when contemplating the time
needed to transform it into digital info. I don't
know, a typical textbook could take 80 hours to
consume (by yer head). An extra hour or so of work to
make it storable in byts and bytes is well worth it
IMHO.
