Fellow Netters,

A group here has been asked to look into the possibility of taking
boxes and boxes of medical records and documents and converting them
into some form of archival storage. They initially considered 
microfilming them but I feel that using the document scanners with
perhaps WORM devices would be a better alternative. However, we do not
have any expeirience in this sort of actitivy at all.

What experiences do folks have using the scanners out there?
What kind of software is necessary? What is the minimum hardware
necessary say for a souped up PC or 386 system in terms of graphics
and image hardware (of course coupled with well regarded text software
which can incorporate these into word porcessing programs)? What companies
have good products and how much do they cost?

We are willing to delve into this seriously. Some guidance will be
most appreciated.
