That email has no from or subject because the person probably used a unix-based utility like sendmail to send the email as part of their automated spam campaign. They want people to open them in the hopes that the person who does so has their email client set to view emails in html rather than plain text. This is because, in these kinds of emails, there is code that sends a call to a server that let's the spammer know that the email has been open. Then the spammer knows that they have a live one, and proceed to send the real spam. So don't open those emails; just delete them. Hope this helps.

So, I did. But now I find I don't like the sounds, such as when a message comes in. It's too loud and abrupt. I'd prefer to put back the sounds that I had with the previous version of MSN, but I can't find them. did they get deleted once I installed Windows Live Messenger?

[Blind-Computing] a fast scanner
Hello everyone. I need a fast scanner that will allow me to scan my text books with Open Book from FS. I'm very busy, and time is of the essence. Can those of you with experience in this share which scanners you have used or would recommend for speed and accuracy? I need something big enough to scan text books the size of an anatomy and physiology text. I looked on the FS site, and the fastest one I found was the cannon DR50-20, but there was no information on the cannon site about it. Thanks for any info.

Re: [Blind-Computing] a fast scanner
Hi Annette. Thank you for this information. I look forward to hearing about this scanner. I had an epson and can't remember the model number. I used it with Windows 2000 years ago, and it worked ok, but it slowed down unacceptably when I switched to XP. It is surprisingly difficult to find a fast scanner that doesn't also cost way too much. I found a blog on the web about ABBYY and wondered if it would serve me just as well as open book. Do you know if it's any faster or slower, or whether the OCR is comparable to the ones included in open book?

It is no longer made and has been replaced with the 5070 or 5080. These are very fast scanners with very high price tags. If my memory serves me correctly, they run around $4000 to $5000. These are not bed scanners, thus you will need to have the binding cut off of your text books before you can scan them. Usually your campus copy center, or local Kinko's can do this for you. Some Kinko's have been known to cut the binding off of the book(s) as long as you agree to return to them to have a new comb or spiral binding put on the book by them once you are done scanning the book. There is another scanner you might want to take a look at. I will need to provide you with the model number tomorrow. We just purchased this scanner for an employee at my current job. I do not know if this scanner will work with OpenBook, but the user will be using it with Abby Fine Reader and JAWS to scan large quantities of hardcopy material. The scanner is a flat bed scanner with a sheet feeder that is capable of performing duplex scanning, at a rate of 25 single-sided pages per minute, or 50 pages per minute when the pages are double-sided because it is scanning both sides at the same time.

Re: [Blind-Computing] a fast scanner
Hi Tony, The employee who requested Abby Fine Reader and this scanner says that Abby Fine does a better job then OpenBook, but I have not used it personally, and since the printer just arrived today, I'm yet to see it work. I can tell you now that high speed scanning adds additional factors that can cause a poor scan. Once you have the binding cut off of your books, you have to be sure you remove all of the remaining glue from the pages of the book. If this is left on, it will gunk up your scanner resulting in jamming, or smudges on the lens which will effect the quality of the final product. Pages can sometimes stick together due to high humidity levels, or excessive static when the humidity is low. Sometimes the pages stick together just because they want to. I forgot to tell you that the scanner that I'm going to give you the info on tomorrow, costs around $1200 to $1500. Have you talked to the Office of Disability Services to have them cover the cost of you having your books scanned? Didn't I already provide you with a link to a company who scans textbooks for a fee? Where are you going to school? Many colleges and universities are now joining together to scan books for their students.

Re: [Blind-Computing] a fast scanner
Hi Annette. It's very kind of you to respond to my queries, so thank you. Do you know of a scanner that's flat-bed, not necessarily duplex? I've tried to go through the FS site's list of supported scanners, but it's too hard to tell which scanners are out of date and not made anymore and which ones are too expensive. I didn't find the price of the DR-5020 anywhere on the cannon web site or on other sites. I definitely prefer to try to find out the experiences of users with the latest scanners, not because I just have to have a brand new scanner, but because the more recent scanners are easier to find. Unfortunately, Disability services in my state take far too long to buy equipment for the blind, and I'm already in school. I'm enrolled in a distance learning medical transcription program through Penn Foster University. By the time the state would get through the required red tape, I would be done with my courses. I live in a rural area where the nearest kinko's is about fifty miles away, so scanning the books myself is definitely the best way to go about this. I really appreciate that you responded because It brought abby fine reader to my attention. Thanks again.
