[gui-talk] K1000 and the convention?

[Les Kriegler]

Hi Evelyn,

I understand.  I was pondering how things have changed, as before, we
depended on scanners for book reading, and now the technology has advanced
to the point where so much more reading material is available.  Certainly,
K1000 has a place as do the other scanning packages, but I do wonder what
form future upgrades will take.

Hi, Les,

I still use mine. I get some print magazines and will not willingly give it
up.
