Is it still crazy to scan 1000 magazines?

The photocopier at my office could scan them a heck of a lot faster... you could probably do a whole magazine in about 5-10 minutes. Wish I could help you. :)

I would tell you to get a life, except that I personally have read EVERY post in this thread. At least you are accomplishing something interesting and useful with your time :beer: .

Just letting you know that you've got a cheering cyber-audience out here rooting for you.

Go get this puppy at Woot...

http://www.woot.com/

Scanner with an Auto Document Feeder.

Then just take a band saw and cut off the spine of the magazines and you can just feed them through and let it go. It's sure to allow you to finish much sooner.
