Yep,

SCO xenix was a cool O/S especially when you had a host of dumb terminals attached serially. We used to run our dev system on an ALTOS 4 box with 20Mb hard drive (That was MASSIVE at the time) and 8 inch floppies. As well as that we used to develop systems using the OASIS operating system that had a database actually built into the O/S.

Happy days!

Dave

Too bad Dr Dave is not still in charge of Fox. The guy was a genius. He would have it running on everything so we would not be stuck with the M$ crap.

I use to use FoxBase on a sco xenix system. It worked great!!!! You could

run your foxpro programs from multiple locations via remote connections by

loggin into the unix type environment.

We have a XP machines that we connect to several printers and scanners

including a bank check scanner. They work great. When they break someday, we

will replace them with XP machines. We are stopping with XP. Vista and all

that other Microcrap OS is garbage. That company is living on Bill Gates'

monopoly. They are throwing it away slowly but surely. It is unfortunate

that there is no way to run VFP on Linux. We would jump immediately.

I use a Brother MFC-7345N and the scanning multiple pages worked great and

loads the software automatically when I used Vista.

But

When I use Windows 7 the software doesn't load automatically and I can only

do one page scan at a time.

I was on the phone with brother for hours and they were not able to fix

this.

We have 2 brother multifunction MFC 8460N I am sure this is outdated now,

but they work great. We have no plans to change. We use the software that

came with it. OmniPage. I think we did upgrade the software in the past 3 or

4 years. I recommend the Brother brand - low cost and reliable. We use the

auto document sheet feeder a lot and it never fails (as long as you remember

to remove the staples)

In the past we have had 2 Canon printer/scanners and the auto document feed

broke on both. Canon refused to fix it even though they were still under the

1 year warrantee. We will never buy anything with a Canon brand again.

Subject: [NF] Fast scanner

The company is considering scanning documents at our horse sale next

November, and we are looking for a fast scanner with a small footprint.

Fujitsu has the ScanSnap series, and they look reasonable. The models in

this line have a 20-25 ppm speed, which seems fast.

It would be nice to have a model that allows you to name the individual

scans and send them to a specified folder.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the Fujitsu models, or

other brands.
