Speaking of OCR, does anyone know if ALL types of OCR software
require scanning at a massive DPI size? I'm not familiar with
it. I've used some once or twice that came with a HP
all-in-one, and it works great. But I had to scan at a massive
DPI size for it to work. It was something the size of
newspaper or magazine print. If an entire page had to be
scanned to OCR, it would probably bring the PC to a halt.

OCR is extremely cool when you have a use for it.
My roomie used to use a typewriter (Harold's the only one who
knows what
they are) and we scanned his novel into the computer with very
few
errors, saving him a lot of time. Google uses OCR to update
their
library database.
To use OR, you have to select it when scanning.
