Hi Evan. Technically, the scanning device doesn't have to transmit all of
the 500 scans in a minute. It is very common for devices to snap pictures
rapidly and then send them to a computer at a slower, more even pace. Most
digital cameras used for scanning have internal memory, so the transfer rate
to a computer or even to a wiriness network could be done more slowly. Think
of it as a batch mode scan on steroids. (grin)

Hmmm, I don't think any PC made right now could keep up with the flood of
data that taking 500 images per second would generate. There's not even any
communications protocol that I know of that would deliver that much data to
the PC for processing, even if the computer could do it. In a few years,
though, who knows? They might have to build a scaled-down version for PC's
that would be more manageable, but would still be much better and faster
than what we have now.
