Hi David, Thanks for all this. I wasn't taking DocuScan that seriously, but after reading your messages, I'll give it a closer look. My MacBook Pro is two years old, and the thing that's prompting all this is that I need a new scanner, because Fujitsu hasn't written Windows 7 drivers for my current scanner (long sigh, it still works great!)
Please do post an announcement when you're demo is up, I'd love to give it a listen.
