God, I hate those! They score those damn "fill in the dots" tests. You
remember those? We still have a few in school. (I'm a senior in HS). I
may be able to get more info tomorrow.
We have one which connects to a PC. It does the attendance. It looked
like the PC was doing the running and the ScanTron unit was just a
glorified punch-card reader.

Pretty accurate description for most of them, altho this one is a
self-contained stand-alone unit.

Just to add to this thread... Today is our civic election (Mayor,
Councillers, Health Board, School Board...) here in Saskatoon. City
council has been making a big deal about the election going 'High Tech'
for the first time. No, this doesn't mean I get to vote from home over
the internet... it doesn't mean I push a button, or pull a lever... Yes,
it means I'll be filling in the dots instead of marking Xes today!

Wow! A high schooler who's into old computers? Unless there is a
pre-pubescent teenager on this list, I think Daniel has the record as the
youngest collector of old computers.
