Guys! Don't get me started on the "Ghost of Past Junk". I'll calm myself and mention only one. It was called MacVision, it's basically a color video scanner. Took a good minute to scan, you had to keep your subject still for the duration, and in the same room as the computer, and it cost $450.00. That was before scanners and digital cameras.

@Cthulhu: Color will be here much faster than five years. They have LCD readers breathing down their necks.
