Make PDF's of the jpegs....... then I can recycle the orignal magazines and save so much space.

You should link a sample of what a finished product looks like.

By the way... you're crazy.

Holy crapI read this when you first posted it and i figured you were smoking and it would never happen. Now, I still think you are smoking. You should submit this to Guinness or something.

Did you do it... scan all 700?

I did not read the entire thread. The most I ever scanned was a 1200 page heavy equipment manual for the b/f. Dont print 'em anymore, and he luckily came across a copy. Took me hours and hours. I made .pdf files out of it.
