What was the J.C. Lilly Paper & Fiber Products Corporation thinking?
I hope that 'digital toner' gets at least that fun.

Right; we postliterate people have given up chopping off spines
and feeding exactly 7 pages at a time (then flipping same) to
out ScanMakerX6 with ADR (....) becaise the DC06, featured in ID
Magazine just now, comes with an option to scan as it sucks and
cyclones;
you just put it in the library and empty the canisters from tome
to tome; it's quite filmic.
Look! Java 2 in 27 seconds! You can tell it's a proof by
the way the CD shatters.
