And needless to say I was hooked ever since. In those days it took a whole afternoon of fiddling with scanner settings to get one somehow acceptable middle of the road color scan! The next year I got my feet wet with the first third party scanning application Art-Scan and I also bought a new faster SCSI flatbed scanner with 600x1200dpi resolution.
However, don't even think color scanning was such an effortless process then as it is now: just putting a color picture on the platen, press a button, and get a somehow decent result. Then I bought my first real flatbed scanner in 1996 - an Epson ES-1000C with 400x800dpi resolution- giving me an entree into the world of color scanning. This was before the flatbed scanners market took off.
My first attempts at document scanning were a fax machine which I rigged to be a direct input document scanner (without a telephone line) to my computer via the modem. It began because I was traveling constantly and wanted to have as much documentation on my laptop with me as possible. "I have always had an interest in scanning.
