Let's apply some of that to your rather bizarre conclusion about corporations running for public office...???? I haven't read the latest Supreme Court's ruling, nor do I intend to do so, because the ruling had absolutely nothing to do with your supposition...but "common sense" (that much maligned, little exercised commodity that you've drug kickin' & screamin' into this dialogue) would tell you or anyone who chooses to exercise just a sprinkle of it that there is a very distinct difference in individuals vs. corporations...you should try a little of it...you might find it....enlightening...!!! This narrative has been offered with no presumption of merit or retort from the originator of the blog, nor does it warrant further verbal dialogue on Monday, Feb. 8th (or any other Monday for that matter)...!!! JUST MY WAY OF "PULLIN' YOUR CHAIN"...NO HARM INTENDED...!!! Hmmmm…common sense, eh…????

It has a form feed scanner rather than a flatbed, which is a must if you scan a lot of documents. For the price point of less than $80, it does a fair job. I use a 200dpi resolution, which seems to keep the scans readily legible without ballooning their size too much. After all, the scans are images, and that means they are already substantially larger than standard text documents. I'm surprised that you throw things away. I don't, so if I were to continue going paperless I would surely exceed available storage space in a couple years. Keeping all of that stuff out of my closet and on a hard drive is well worth it for me. Plus, the advantages I talked about in the post are sufficiently persuasive to convince me of the superiority of paperless.
