To a fucking moron everything sounds moronic.

These are old and yellowing paperbacks that are slowly
being destroyed anyway.  The best way to preserve these
irreplaceable volumes is to digitize them.

I can scan six pages at a time and then slice up the 
files into six separate pages.  What scanner could
do that?  None.

Also, my GNU/Linux descreening and other image processing tools
beat anything that is commercially available.

Now go back to listening to a moronic world, moron.
