3. Lots of hard drive space and a DVD-R/RW.
4. A good flatbed scanner with OCR software. When documents are captured (see #5) and text converted using OCR, they will be indexed using a program like Copernic Desktop Search for universal searching.
5. Plenty of time to convert/archive all existing paper documents into digital format (this will be the worst part  ). I'll probably convert everything to PDF for portability between platforms and easy conversion to Repligo format.
6. Like you said, a Tablet PC would be an option if you want to cut down on steps 2, 4&5.
I'm currently between steps 3&4.

This list skips one step: get rid of all the junk.
I don't know about you, guys, but most, and I mean MOST, of the papers I've kept for years have information that is useless, outdated, or very very important, but, since I don't ever check what's in those heaps of papers, it becomes useless, as well.
