Hi Jim!
Welcome to the list and to volunteering. I hope you are enjoying retirement.
I can understand you wanting to put aside the computer books. They are a
hard scan. I'm scanning one now, and the margins are a little tight and
all of those screen shots, whew, but I still enjoy it. I have to rescan
pages with screen shots and change the setting of OpenBook to not recognize
columns, and they usually turn out well, depending on the screen shot, when
the print is not too small.

Well, let's see if I can get a good scan of the book. I should be getting
it tomorrow.
Jamie, you're correct, I'm new to this list, and to volunteering, at least
in a serious way. I live just outside of Austin, Texas. I retired from
IBM almost 2 years ago now. I'd worked for them for 30 years as a
software engineer. I finally got around to setting up our scanner, and
updating my copy of K1000. In the past couple of weeks I've scanned in
one book, "The Conscience of a Libertarian", and have proofread 2 books.
You might think I'd be scanning computer texts and manuals, but actually
I'm kind of tired of computers, after 33 years total in the field. It's
time for other stuff now. My computer is now just another tool.

Way to go, Jim! That's a big job to tackle. Are you a new volunteer? I
don't think I've seen you on the list before.

Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have. Just dreaming
about nice things is meaningless; it is like chasing the
