Sherry; Are you a Mac user? I would love to collaborate with other Mac users and even eventually approach manufacturers about viability for scanning books on a Mac. I would also love to see a book edge scanner available on a Mac without having to resort to Boot Camp, Fusion, or Parallels. Please contact me off-list if you want to bounce ideas around. I really want to be Mac only! Valerie On Jul 19, 2011, at 6:40 AM, Sherry Cocuh wrote: > the only ORC I have is ABBEY sprint.
