[BCMA] Wand scanners

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I do not use a wand scanner but have found a wonderful  small scanner called the Flip Pal  http://flip-pal.com/. These were selling like hotcakes at a genealogical conference I attended this weekend. It is compact, lightweight, cordless and battery powered and stores the images on a memory card. If you have a large image, all you do it turn the scanner over and do multiple passes over the image, overlapping about 1 inch. Then the provided software stitches the images together and you have one digitized image.  I have done newspapers and it takes very little time.

There is no damage to the originals and I highly recommend this little gem.
