Way to go, Gerald!
I think one problem here is that so many people are
scanning and so few are validating. Maybe more would
validate if more credits were given for it vis-a-vis
scanning, especially since a lot of scanners seem to
scan and upload without pre-validating or even using
K's ranked spelling, as E suggests.
BTW, should I still be referring to it as K1000 if
there have been updates? IS K1000 themachine itself?
