I actually think thats pretty nice. What on earth is free business contest law (FBCL I suppose)? Does that mean if I only make parts for Ford motor cars, and I completely ignore GM, and also the vast league of Kit Car DIY'ers, I am evil? I like the book scanner idea though, you should jump on that. Much more elegant in my opinion to the 'book open, face up' with camera's from afar method. -Jack
