Hand-held Scanner

Today was a little light.  Mark was out with a terrible head cold but was available through google chat. We had the usual Donuts and Veggies, as well as juice and coffee. We worked on a computer relocating the USB plugs.

Kris and his Magic Wand

Kris gave a demo on VuPoint Magic Wand up to 600 DPI Color and Black & White Hand Held. The VuPoint scanner is an extremely light hand held pocket scanner with a couple of AAA batteries and a slick carry bag.  We will see it copy any type of material (magazines, books, fabric, etc.) available for import into your favorite software.  It has adjustable resolution, color/b&w and power saving settings.

At a future workshop Kris will be doing a demo on eReaders. He sponsored this workshop at a Mac Users Group meeting and the information was very useful. Come see a comparison of eReader technologies. We will have several on hand for people to see, as well as printed literature for people to look over.
