True enough, but you maybe didn't notice in the clip that they used the drum
scanner also as the output device - "writing" the manipulated image back
onto real photo paper. Remember, mid 1980s inkjet printer output was truly
nasty.
And don't knock their OCR engines until you have taken a look at ABBYY
Finereader.
Thanks for the link, Charlie.
