This month in 2001 I became engaged to my wife, which was great for me but possibly not such a smart move for her.
Another event that is almost as significant to the world is that in 2001, Fujitsu (or more specifically their subsidiary PFU) released the first ScanSnap, the fi-4110EOX.
Since 2001, the ScanSnap has gone through a huge number of changes, as this awesome infographic shows:
You can see the transition from the original ScanSnap up through the newest currently available models, the ScanSnap S1500, S1500M, S1300, S1100, and their network scanner that I haven’t written about before, the ScanSnap N1800.
To celebrate the ScanSnap’s 10th Anniversary, Fujitsu is giving away a ScanSnap S1100. You can read how to enter and the terms on Fujitsu’s site. Unfortunately, it seems to be open to USA residents only.
Good luck if you’re entering, and happy birthday to the folks at Fujitsu.

Well, with OS X Lion just a couple of days ahead, I was wondering if the ScanSnap software and drivers are compatible. Unfortunately, there’s no information regarding the situation at http://roaringapps.com/app:1126 – but I would rather avoid running in something like the OCR-issue from the last transition. Does anyone knows anything?
Amazing timing Tom, I am working on a post on exactly that topic right now. Sneak preview, check out this http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/peri… and this: http://www.fujitsu.com/global/support/computing/p….
Ah – I see… Cheers!
