Subject: list of theological resources
I would like to know if a list has been compiled of electronic resources for
theologians. If none were available, I would like help to build one
comprising the must-references in this field. Also, I remember seeing a PD
edition of the Bible, with King James and Septuaginta versions and full
commentary and theological dictionary. What about its current whereabouts.
Please reply directly to me, thanks.

Subject: recommendations on portable scanners
I would like to accessory my brand new notebook with a portable scanner. The
idea is to avoid xerox copies when visiting libraries. The scanner would
also be used at home, connected to a destop computer. This means that
scanners depending on external adapters/PCMCIA are excluded and
parallel-port connectivity - or other workaround - is to be considered as
essential. The scanner has to be compatible with OmniPage Professional or
other major OCR software, i.e. a driver must be available.
I understand that hand-held scanners have typically to resort to the stitch
method for covering areas larger than 11 cm. For this reason, I would prefer
hand-held scanners with a larger scanning area or the newly-introduced
so-called page-scanners with the possibility of scanning books, not only
sheets of printed paper. Color capability is not required.
The only model I know to support all this is the new Logitech PageScan.
I don't know much about HP Scanjet 4S.
I would appreciate suggestions from people who have used these peripherals.
I would also like to know if my expectancies - document scanning with a non
professional implement - are "legitimate" or if the flat-bed solution is the
only reasonable.
Thanks to anyone who answers.
