When was the last time you’ve used one of those?

Last night. I’m constantly amazed at the amount of stuff people want “faxed” to them. To which i promptly ask “Can i scan it as a PDF and email it to you” after a short pause while they consider this option they usually say “um yea that works too”…. so many things still wrong with this…

The guy looks like he’s just trying to take notes on his notepad, scan them to his computer, then save the image. How else are you supposed to get your notes to your computer?

I used one yesterday, painfully. My company has to have receipts scanned for travel reimbursement. Stinks.
Stephen Bateman says
dang that sucks. scanners are woefully inefficient.

Every day. At work we’ve cut paper consumption by about 40% last year and one of the ways we’ve done this is to keep all of our customer and client documents (leases, management agreements, work orders, and soooo much more) is to scan our copy and give the originals out. So the $2,000 we’ve spent on scanners has saved us almost that much in paper in the since we started down this road.
Personally? I’ve started digitizing all of my mother-in-laws photos recently and that’s something that I do a small chunk at a time as time and motivation allow.

I still use my scanner pretty often for getting older documents, photos, etc. into my computer… but I’m certainly not hauling the thing around with me to a coffee shop!

I hardly ever do, but I find that when I need one I really need one.

Everyday just about, but I’m also an ECM admin… Teaching lots of users to scan when necessary instead of storing paper. I had to fax the other day, that was just silly!
Wendy says
Dude does need to get an app for that though, instead of lugging around the scanner!
Stuart says
Personally I haven’t scanned anything since my mass scan-in last year for my son’s 21st birthday project. Professionally though I have to do this almost daily.
Have to say though that I found this particular post comes over as a little child’ish – but maybe that’s just me being ageist and not “getting your humour”.
