_offline_ scanning.

With all this talk about Virtual Libraries, (I'm for them
as long as the paper source is offered up to the list
before discard*) a question comes to mind.

Anybody offer a scanner that goes directly to disk,
possibly via TWAIN over USB? Seems possible
since there are digital camera solutions that do that.
My dad wants to do scanning and is computer shy...
the idea is that I would visit him semiregularly and
offload/OCR/organize his work then.
This would involve the destruction of NO manuals.

storage to prudent backup media.
