[FRIAM] scanning an old manuscript

[Gillian Densmore]

@Software that can make prints look good. Yes and no. For What It's Worth
my Desktop [Win10] has some pretty good stuff baked in. What some software
may help with isn't just stuff looking good, but not going bonkers at
speed, orkeeping you or the computer from loosing it. Edd, Ruth, or
possibly Kim can speak way better to if a service is actually helpful
their, and the goods and not so goods of them.

As a concrete example just for a simple scan like someones photo id so as
they can get a new pass port.  His scanner did fine. If it was  more than a
few pages (a book)  Some place like RedBbbbles, CafePress someotimes offer
things like:'Oops? No wories!' (Backup and prints in a cloud).
I have no idea if they offer a better deal or not. Have you asked Edd,
Ruth, or Tom for experience?
