Thanks Jim for checking it out.  Yes, those of us who have been doing
this for a while have certainly changed our perceptions of what is a
good scan!  I know that when I go back and look at my own scans just
from a few years ago, I'm immediately struck with how much better I
could make it now.  Both OCR software and our skills have improved
greatly over the years.  I still remember reading books that would
have whole paragraphs that were undecipherable and being happy just to
be able to read them at all!

I'll get to the rescan of Firestorm pretty soon.
