I'm not concerned about the short interest. Sure they think that VSNR will repeat the trend downward. I think they are wrong this time. People are getting more computer saavy and this market is growing rapidly now IMO. On thing though. What will VSNR do next? I hope they address the following: Software: on PPD - there should be an auto stack function. Presently, one highlights the items and selects stack. - there should be a way to rename and delete folders in the program - there should be a better interface in the software to share scanned files with people on the internet regardless of platform. I know there is a different offering, but I think that this should be bundled. - The Mac side misses the OCR 100. I would buy it now if I could. On Hardware: - the corporate side is missing heavy duty sheet fed loader scanner. For instance, let's say one has a stack of invoices to scan. You don't want to wait around to scan each one. I know that Xerox is looking squarly at this with its docucenter products. - the Strobe needs a wider, funnel type feeder mouth. It would make it easier to feed the sheets. - the Strobe also needs something for cleaning. Periodically, the scanner interface gets gummed up (like a fax machine). The strobe doesn't open up to clean. What I've done is wad up some paper towels with water and that usually does the job (Caution: this is not a recommendation). There is a lot of synergies with money management software which should be explored in greater detail. Especially integrating data extration from set statements of account for instance to quicken. There's a program I used in the past called Monarch which did something similar - the user can customize data extration from standardized statements. Totally a user unfriendly program, but hey it's an opportunity for the next generation scanning software. Sincerely, Ben
