Though hardly less than 10 years old, it's on the topic of old
machinery...
A limiting factor for me (and I'm sure others) to put up 'obsolete'
documentation is hand scanning. Does anyone know of an inexpensive sheet
feed scanner that will accept 50+ sheets? These "all in one" type
things, like HP Officejet, only accept 10 sheets at a time, and do a
poor job.
Inexpensive meaning here a few hundred $US. Every few months I look and
never find anything between the officejet and $10K large-office
machines.
With a decent feeder I'd saw bindings off to sheet-feed manuals and
books I have duplicates of.

I've been looking at a couple of the HP scanners with a document feed
option (they take 30 odd pages) and are supported by Mac OS-X meaning I
can scan directly into my laptop.
Assuming I get one (well Christmas is coming up!) what do people
recommend for scanning in terms of resolution, format etc? Basically I
want to scan lots of paper that I have in store so that I can throw the
originals away (note, these are not computer documentation, just things
like lecture notes that I haven't looked at in many years but want to
keep copies "just in case").
