News Item from PowerScan site. "Washington, D.C., Dec. 3, 1997 - PowerScan, Inc., a subsidiary of Star Technologies, Inc., today announced that it will be a Fuji federal market distributor for the new Fuji M Drive microfilm scanner for batch scanning. The announcement was made during the FedNet/FedImaging Convention at the Washington D.C. Convention Center. "As a revolutionary new unit that serves as a low cost image batch scanner, we believe that Fuji M Drive currently has no rival," said Jeff M. Meshinsky, Vice President of Sales/Marketing for PowerScan. The unit has a retail list price starting at $17,995 (a fraction of the cost of many other popular microfilm scanners). The M Drive offers the capability of reading or scanning 16 mm rollfilm at 32 frames-a-minute and offers digital resolution capture of 60 dpi to 1,000 dpi. PowerScan offers the M Drive unit, combined with its PowerScan scanner driver software and StageWorks post-scan image processing software, a very robust combination of capabilities for the federal marketplace users. "The federal government is one of the largest archivists that uses both paper and microfilm as its medium for its vast information archives," said Jeff Meshinsky, adding that "the Dept. of US National Archives still only officially recognizes paper and microfilmed images for government certifiable archives. "PowerScan digitally captures both mediums," said Meshinsky, adding that "now with our existing portfolio of paper scanning software and hardware, we will offer the leading microfilm digital information capture sub-system in the industry." Kenneth Kopald, Vice President and General Manager of Fuji Photo Film USA, Inc. added, "The M Drive unit was Manager of Fuji Photo Film USA, Inc. added, "The M Drive unit was formally unveiled earlier this year at the Association of Information and Image Management (AIIM) convention and its wide-spread applications within the microfilm industry is now very apparent. We began shipments of the M Drive unit during third-quarter to the commercial marketpl More than 60% of all microfilmed data exists on 16 mm rollfilm, for which the M Drive unit was designed. The M Drive supports reading and scanning of both blip-indexed and non-blipped film (using the M Drive frame-edge detection technology). Once images are digitally captured from microfilm, they can be further viewed, indexed, cropped, deskewed, despeckled, manipulated, OCR'ed, redacted (if they are sensitive documents) and formatted for users' current document management systems. "The M Drive makes a perfect advanced, digital solution for the mounting demand for declassified information that is permeating every niche within all our federal agencies," said Meshinsky. "Information declassification, and doing it efficiently with speed and at minimum cost, is a federal requirement that has the highest demand in the public sector today. The M Drive and PowerScan meet such declassification demand on every requirement point," said Meshinsky. PowerScan, a Star Technologies Imaging Company, based in Potomac, MD, is the leading designer, developer and distributor of digital document image software for the capture and processing applications. Fuji Photo Film USA is the US marketing subsidiary of Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. of Tokyo, a leading manufacturer of imaging and information products.

You don't even know how to read. The first sentence defined why you did not investigate before you accuse people. Stupid people usually don't know how to read. Otherwise they would be smart enough to avoid calling names and get on their way to make some money. Isn't making money is why you invest. Your T/A did not make any money for you. We can tell. No T/A people will tell others about their T/A. Because if every one does the same thing in T/A, then no one makes any money.
