To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there, We all know by now that freebsd is one hell of an OS, and we hear every now and then of success stories using this beasty, but does anyone know if anyone in the FreeBSD world is running a scanner and an OCR (optical character Recognition) software. I am typing in millions of characters every year, and planning to put some books online in the next few years, this would make my life PARADISE, and help me NUKE the M$drive that I'm still keeping for: 1. M$ Word 2. M$ PowerPoint 3. Scanner Application & OCR. Some time ago I have asked this list for scanner support, and for a decent word processor, until I finish downloading the 60 Megs WP 8.0, can't tell you that I am very happy. On the Net, FreeBSD is a Real Giant, fast downloads, networking layer is very robust, security is very hihg (relative thing though). -- - MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. ~o .^. ---------------------------- ___ o~ .00 ) Static Email : osiris2002@yahoo.com /| o~ /)( Bouncing Email : root@isis.dynip.com / | | \ Web Site : http://isis.dynip.com:80 (Frames) ___/ | / \ Anon FTP Site : ftp://isis.dynip.com:21 (anonymous) | /''___/ / | Gopher Site : gopher://isis.dynip.com:70 | /'''/___/ | Network News : isis.dynip.com (Read, Post, Xfer) __|/'''/ Mailing Lists : majordomo@isis.dynip.com (public) pgp key : finger root@isis.dynip.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
