Works well
2009-01-30I purchased three of these scanners. These small scanners are the best for scanning to PDF. However, they are not the best for light text. For standard pages they are the best. The small foot print is great for the desktop.
Strobe Xp 220, 600DPI Scanner
2009-01-24I have had a series of Stobe XP Scanners over the past 8 years and I have been very happy with all of them. I had to buy a new Visioneer scanner because my XP 200 was not compatible with Vista. I had to return the first Strobe XP 220 because the paper feed jammed frequently. The second unit is not sensitive enough to sense thin paper or receipts. I will have to return this unit also.
Out of frustration I bought the ScanSnap S300. It is a great scnanner and worked perfectly right out of the box. The ScanSnap software is very basic compared to Paperport. I scan into the ScanSanp software but use Paperport to manage my documents. This adds several steps, but ScanSnap software does not have all the features you need to manage documents.
If you have Version 10 of Paperport with a Visioneer Scanner, you will disappointed with the Vista Compatible Version 11 of Paperport. Many of the best features of Paperport have been removed. I can no longer print to Paperport directly from many of my programs. Having said that, Paperport is still the best low cost document manager I have used.
Scammer

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling
Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between?
This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck.
Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature.
The Core 2 Duo Processor
Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
