My New Scanners Are In! My New Scanners Are In! (#341)

Is the Internet cool or what? On Wednesday I made a post about a personal library app. On Friday Jim McGee responded. On Saturday I picked up Jim's post in my News Aggregator and immediately went to ReaderWare to check out the software.

By 10:3O AM EDT I had decided I needed this software and a barcode scanner. Readerware suggests a CueCat and suggests eBay as the place to get them. By 11:00 AM I had scrounged eBay, found a likely source, and did a Buy It Now! for 2 CueCat USB scanners for a total of $8. I paid via PayPal

By 4:00PM I had an e-mail from the seller saying he had the money and would ship that afternoon if he could find a Post Office open. At 10:30AM this morning my new CueCat barcode scanners arrived!

This is as close to instant gratification as I can stand to get. I'll be a book scanning son-of-a-gun by tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks again to Jim McGee of McGee's Musings.
