I've been trying for 10 years to make my home office "paperless."  After being disappointed with expensive scanner purchases over the years, I finally (kind of) accomplished it by schlepping all my documents to the office where we have a big, industrial quality scanner, but it's been less-than-optimal... so a good chunk of my home office has had piles of paper laying around... sort of a half-paperless existence... not....... quite..... there.  UNTIL TODAY.

I got this new scanner at home to scan documents (bills, receipts, taxes, manuals), and FINALLY found something that can make all my filing go paperless.  The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 is spectacular... you'll be able to clear the clutter in no time flat.  It now takes a prominent place on my desk.  In one afternoon, I've been able to PLOW through a major chunk of loose files and receipts in my office.... WOW.

The scanner will (all in one pass) 

•   scan the front and back of the document

•   auto sense color or black and white

•   auto align and crop

•   convert to PDF

•   drop into a folder on your computer

For those of us who have been looking for a nice, clean document scanner to "go digital," at home, this is it.  It's the holy grail of going paperless that I've been looking for over the last decade that I have aimed for a paperless office.  I phoned my Dad, a fastidious organizer, and DEMANDED he buy one.  This will make your life SO MUCH EASIER.
