[Change of topic] In the April 13th issue of PC week, there was a review of a product called Scan-O-Matic. Apparently an absurd name, but a decent product. Here's part of the review: "In PC Week Labs' tests, Thinkstream Inc.'s Scan-O-matic 1.1 made it easy to capture, store, annotate and mail files containing a wide variety of digital content. The product also simplified converting the files to HTML format for posting as part of a Web page. The $79.95 application, which shipped last month, is more than just a scanning and filing program like Visioneer Inc.'s PaperPort. With Scan-O-matic, we could create a compound document containing text and images by simply dragging images into a scanned text document and e-mail that document using a wizard. The review URL is <http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/reviews/0413/13scan.html> Three questions occur to me: 1. Are there Visioneer plug-ins that effectively accomplish the same thing? 2. Is this a market that Visioneer is overlooking? 3. Do you see this as being a competitive threat to Paperport software? Steve Bergman
