[gui-talk] K1000 and the convention?

[denise avant]

Hi,
Well there is still some need for scanning in the work environment. There
are materials that are not commercial in nature, and are hundreds of pages.
And maybe you could advance the product to where you don't need the flat bed
scanner anymore, but could use a camera, like the ipal.

Hi Evelyn,

I do wonder what significance would come out of an upgrade now.  With the
explosion of daisy and corresponding players, I would think the direction of
K1000 would at least change.  I wonder how many people scan books any more?
AT the very least, I would think scanning of books is significantly reduced.

Albert,

Last year at the users' meeting, Stephen Baum said that they had to work on
K3000, and that after that was done, they would be working on our next
upgrade. He said that since Cambrian had bought KESI, K1000 had sold very
well. Still, I resent what I see as our being shoved into a corner--again,
and I expressed as much, quite mehemently. I think it's been three years
since we have had an upgrade, and I think my memory is pretty good,
especially since I'm getting a free one (smile).
