7/20    Is there such a thing as a document only scanner?  I have a lot of
        documents (8.5 x 11) that I need scanned in.  Flat bed scanners won't
        work for me because I have to put in the pages one by one.  Big waste
        of time.  Is there such a product on the market?
        \_ If you didn't care about quality, you could fax them to a computer.
        \_ there are many scanners with page feeders
                \_what a brilliant idea..  good thing i didn't throw away
                  my fax modem..
            \_ such as???  Every scanner I've seen is a standard flat bed
               scanner.  I've never seen one with a page feeder.
               \_ UMAX 2400S is one. There are many. --dim

8/26    Any suggestions on a good OCR program for either OS X or Windows that
        will work on scanned documents outputted to pdf?  Preferably free?
        Thanks, scottyg
        \_ Check Abbyy or Scansoft.  Not free.
           \_ Thanks...I think I'd prefer a free or opensource piece of
              software unless there is a huge difference in quality.  I

12/1    Just curious -- what do you guys generally use soda for? Why do you
        log on? Personally, I use it to keep a presence on IRC and AIM/gTalk
        at all times, and mess around with some Python programming (been
        setting up Twisted and such so I can play with making an irc bot).

5k4     ClamWin vs. Active Virus Shield.  Which one is better?  My company is
        using ClamWin, and I know Active Virus Shield has real-time scanning
        while ClamWin doesn't.  But other than this, does one scan better than
        the other?  Thanks.
        \_ Kaspersky (AVS) has more frequent updates, and real-time
           protection (not just scanning) is a big benefit especially in

3/28    After almost a decade of not using windows I'm thinking about getting

5/8     apologies if this has been asked recently: friends are asking me
        whats a good windows antivirus software and I've heard this
        thing AVG is good -- and free. anyone use this? is it good? thx
        \_ From the motd archive:
           AVG used to be good when it was the only free program around.
           Most people say that Avast! and AntiVir are better, though.

4/24    I finally got to scan some of the old photos for archive purpose.
        The problem is these scanned photos carry no EXIF data.  I want
        to add 'Date Picture Taken' information en masse.  I tried several
        tools that claim to do EXIF batch update but none could batch
        insert 'Date Picture Taken' information.  Does anyone have any
        suggestion for a batch EXIF editor? Thx.

1/30    We have a lot of photos (4x6 and 5x7) that we'd like to scan and
        turn them into jpeg files.  We have misplaced the negatives for most
        of them.  What's the fastest way of doing this other than scanning
        with a flat bed scanner one photo at a time?   Are there scanners
        that you can feed a stack of 4x6s or 5x7s and it'll scan them
        automatically?  Thanks.
